Charleston Romance Travel Tips

  • Charleston sits on a peninsula where two rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean, and one of the best vistas across all that water is at Waterfront Park. Snuggle together on one of the swings at the pavilion or find a park bench in a shady spot to enjoy the gardens. The park is also a nice place to share a sunset or an early morning coffee.
  • Just a block from Waterfront Park, take a leisurely stroll along Rainbow Row past this whimsical stretch of pastel-colored 18th-century homes. These restored structures once served as a shopping area where sea captains, traders, townsfolk, and pirates bartered and sold their goods. Today, it's a perfect place to have a friendly local take your photo.
  • After a day of sightseeing, drop by the bar at McCrady's for a pre-Prohibition cocktail, classic southern drink, or house-infused spirits. This restored 1788 building, with its warm natural lighting, inviting wood and glass interior, and long walnut bar, provides an elegant yet relaxed setting for a quiet pre-dinner drink or a cozy hour of canoodling before retiring to your hotel.
