Heart and Souls Guide To Charleston. S.C.

Heart and Souls Guide to
Charleston S.C.
(or as my son used to say “South Carofolina”)
After living here for 5 years and falling in love with the south, here is what I can tell you

If you are visiting Charleston S.C for the first time here are some

 “Must See’s”


The Market-Downtown Market Street


King Street-Downtown Shopping and Antiques


Waterfront Park-Beautiful walk on the Pier...if you have kids, be prepared as they will want to run through the fountains...They Will Get Wet!!


Rainbow Row



If you are a history buff…

Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant


Patriots Point/Yorktown Carrier


Ferry to Fort Sumter


Walking Tour of Historical Charleston


Beth Elohim Synagogue (This is where my kids started hebrew school)

This handsome, cupolated Georgian synagogue was destroyed in the great Charleston fire of 1838 and replaced in 1840 on the same Hasell Street site by the ... of Indigo (then South Carolina's second crop) and Joseph Levy, veteran of the Cherokee War of 1760-61 and probably the first Jewish military officer in America.


If you need a little beach time…

Isle Of Palms County Park-There is a fee which includes parking, bathrooms, showers, chair rentals, and more.  This is a great beach for kids :)


Sullivans Island is a little quieter and within the same distance to downtown
