Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant (restaurants galore)

To see:
Angel Oak Tree (could hit this with the firefly distillery)
Boone Hall Plantation (most popular spot.. Where a lot of the notebook
was filmed)
Carriage tours are awesome, worth every penny
Sullivans island or Isle of Palms for the beach
All kinds of museums downtown
Rainbow Row
The Battery Park
King street for shopping
Riverfront Park / Pineapple Fountain is a legit photo op
Ft. Sumter (boring for real but ppl love it)
Pitt Steet Bridge Park in Mt. Pleasant
Middleton place plantation.

*** = favorite spots

If you are going during the Summer, check out Home Team BBQ on Sullivan’s Island. Loaded with babes who are drunk and fresh off the beach.

Charleston is an awesome bachelor party place though, so you will find tons to do. Tons of good breweries. Revelry on the upper peninsula is my favorite and has the best view.

Can’t go wrong with anywhere in Shem Creek either. People will dock their boats and its always a party. Reds, Shelter, Vickery’s... all fun.

Enjoy!
