Let’s begin with some of the top restaurants you should visit when in Charleston, followed by popular activities and hotel options.

Food is one of the greatest draws in Charleston. Some of the best restaurants in the country are here. Some of our favorite restaurants are:

1)     High Cotton

2)     Anson’s

3)     Magnolia’s

Favorites

High Cotton is unbelievably good. They have nightly specials … my favorite is the prime rib special, which also comes with a delicious squash casserole.

Anson’s … wow. Order a filet mignon at this restaurant and you’ll wish that you could lick your plate in public.

If you want really creative Southern fare, go to Magnolia’s. They have great Southern takes on traditional dishes … For example, “Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu” or “Banana Budding Napoleon.” A must-try is their pimento cheese dip appetizer.

Other Popular Spots

As for some of the other popular restaurants in Charleston … Hymen’s is ok, but it’s mostly a tourist attraction. I personally love fried fish, but you can get good fried shrimp throughout the Carolinas, so this place is mostly only interesting because of all the famous people who have eaten there.

The Peninsula Grill is excellent and world-class, but it’s a little too swanky for my tastes.

Two popular restaurants I think are decent but overrated are S.N.O.B. and 82 Queen.

Stop Here if You Have Time

If you have time, also try to make it to Hank’s (great crab cakes!) and Bocci’s (delicious Italian)

If you ever visit for a charleston vacation, you will see that restaurants in charleston are some of the best and most delicious in the united states

Lodging

I’ve stayed in some of the historic inns, and they are very beautiful and quaint. However, many of them have a musty feel due to the nature of Charleston and the nature of old buildings. Hand’s down the BEST place to stay in Charleston is the HarbourView Inn.

The HarbourView Inn isn’t historic, and it’s a little pricy (though not much more than any place else in the city … and certainly lower than a few), but it is in THE best location. Beautiful view of the river. Very close to anywhere you want to go downtown, but unlike most of the inns that are on Meeting Street or right on top of the Market, it isn’t in such a busy or noisy area. I love this inn. The location, the service, the views, the amenities … I could go on. Also they serve wine and cheese every afternoon, and milk and cookies every night. I would live there if I could. It’s also beautifully designed and overlooks the riverfront park.

These and several other great options for hotels in charleston are more reasons why a vacation to charleston are so popular

To Do

History

Charleston contains an unbelievable amount of history … history significant to our country’s formation. There is no shortage of historic tours. I do the carriage tour almost every time I’m there. It’s always a pleasant excursion, and I learn some new, fun fact every time. The walking tours are awesome too! You can get very specific about the kind you want to do: pirates, civil war, ghosts. If you do the ghost tour, do one at night. It’s very fun and a little spooky!

Popular Spots

The Aquarium in Charleston is very popular. It’s great for kids and is better than most Aquariums I’ve been to, but beyond that it’s not a huge draw for me.

The Market is another big attraction, and I do go through it at least once each time I’m in Charleston. But it’s not the end-all-be-all. Definitely go through it, but don’t make it the centerpiece of your visit. You might find a few neat items, but it’s basically a flea market.

Shopping

As far as shopping goes, you have to spend some time on King Street. It’s filled with unique stores and antique shops.

Sightseeing

Don’t forget to spend some time just wandering around in downtown Charleston. It is so beautiful. The architecture, the palmettos, the waterfront battery … It’s all like something straight out of a movie. Some of the graveyards are interesting to walk through as well. You’ll find that many famous people from history are buried behind some of those churches … including some signers of the Declaration of Independence!

Don’t forget that there are many surrounding beaches and plantations in the Charleston area. Many of these are great to visit. However I hate leaving the downtown district for any reason once I’m down there!

Have Fun!

Almost anywhere you go or anything you do in Charleston is going to be fun and memorable. It’s a beautiful, charming city. The people there are incredibly nice and helpful. The food is the best anywhere, and the scenery and architecture are stunning. It is also steeped in history and legend. Have fun!

Slide along the glide path in Shark Tunnel, where you can watch sharks swim mere feet above your head. My little one loves to pet the sting rays and hold the horseshoe crabs.

Ripley’s Aquarium also has several live dive shows and feedings throughout the day (times are posted by the tanks). If you like to add an educational twist to your vacation the aquarium also offers various classes for all age groups.

Myrtle Beach Insider’s Tip: Although we enjoy visits all year long my favorite time is around the winter holidays when Christmas trees representing all 50 states are displayed throughout the aquarium.

What comes to mind when someone says Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Golf, right?    Well, to a small group of hardcore anglers “SHARK” is the word that comes to mind.

Not for the Weak at Heart
The coast of the eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Georgia is prime hunting grounds for sharks, all types of sharks, and Myrtle Beach is no different. Fishing from the shores off Myrtle Beach can bring you many different types of sharks:

• Spinners
• Black Tip
• Tiger
• Sand Shark
• Lemon
• Bull
• Even an occasional Mako

And you don’t need to hire a large fishing boat to catch them. You simply need a kayak and some serious guts!

Now, lest you think shark fishing in a kayak is not a dangerous sport, consider that during the time of the fishing discussed in this article a 10 year old boy was rushed to a hospital with shark bites to the back of his head and his upper legs.

From reports, the boy did fine and recovered, but it clearly shows that this is not a sport without risk. And for the two weeks that our anglers were in Myrtle Beach this past August, red “shark warning” flags were readily seen up and down the beach. Additionally, sharks are caught daily by anglers who are surfcasting for Bluefish. The surfcasting caught sharks typically break off due to their sheer speed and strength coupled with the often pounding effects of the surf crashing against the beach, but they are caught fairly easily.

What Does it Take
During August of 1999 Charles “Chuck” Geary and his family headed down to Myrtle Beach in search of Spinner and Black Tip sharks (the two most commonly caught species). Two years prior I had the privilege to join them on their annual pilgrimage. During that year we hooked a number of sharks but failed to bring any to the beach. With a few more years of practice, Chuck and some friends have perfected the technique and have brought back pictures to prove it

All inclusive family vacations are a great way to travel with kids. Since all inclusive vacation destinations require only once time upfront payment, so these types of vacation ideas take t he money worry out of the trip. Moreover, all inclusive vacations also ensure that the kids get whatever they want, without every time asking the parents for paying the different hotel charges. There are many wonderful all inclusive destinations around the world that have a good reputation in taking good care of your family and you.

Such trips are extremely helpful when you have grown tired of the daily drudgery and is desperately seeking a break from the tantrums at home. The basic idea of all inclusive family vacations is to let the hotel guys take care of basic needs like housekeeping and food, while the parents and the kids have their own special moments to share. Although, as a general rule, teenagers are difficult to understand and please, nevertheless that all inclusive deals can help you to understand your family in a new light. Not only parents understand that the kids are individuals by themselves, but also the kids realize that the parents are really concerned about their comfort and happiness.

The different features to expect from a vacation while selecting the destination are as follows:

1. Climate: Decide where you want to go. What is the color of ocean that you want to reside by for a few day?  Seasides in Mexico and Caribbean have different flavors, so it is completely up to your discretion what destination you choose.
2. Kid’s care: See what are the kids cares that the vacation centers are offering. Look for separate swimming pools for kids and if there’s any water sports facility or not. While in the dining halls too, the kids must get a special treatment.
3. Adults care: A vacation essentially means relaxation and quiet for the adults too. Look for the services on offer.
4. Kids plus adults care: Then again look for whether the all inclusive deals include guided tours for the whole family or not. Some vacation resorts also offer special activities like small concerts and magic shows where the adults and kids alike can participate.

If you have looked at several options and still not decided – going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is a great idea for you and your family.

You can begin with the sandy shores of Myrtle Beach – which is in the middle of a 60-mile stretch of beaches called the Grand Strand. Body-surfing is excellent! Lots of other fun, too: Myrtle Beach is a budget-friendly, family-friendly place, and many hotels have kids activities and playgrounds. (Read Forum comments, below, about a family stay.)
