This is walkable from the house! The Pork Trifecta is probably the most known pizza in all of Charleston. It's been written up in tons of publications and will NOT disappoint. Their salads are also amazing and super fresh.

This is our go-to spot for Friday night pizza. No dining inside and a couple of spots outside on the sidewalk so it's more ideal for take-out. They've got some really inventive options...don't sleep on the McPark! It's a take on the Big Mac and it'll surprise you. Other favorites include Three Pigs, Envy...and basically all of them. Something for every preference!

**THIS IS A MUST** Great water views on the Ashley River, splash pad open during warmer months, fantastic music events, historic homes and a great park/gathering pavilion. There is a brand new elevated walkway over Noisette Creek that Architectural Digest just mentioned in their list of Top 11 Elevated Walkways in the world! This is where Highwater Festival is held every April. You can walk to this (if you're up for it) and it's about 5 miles roundtrip.

Has become a tourist destination in recent years as people love the laid back vibe that the locals offer. Street parking is available but be sure to keep your tires completely off the asphalt as you will get ticketed if not completely on the sand. Get a chili cheese dog at Burts, visit my favorite Bowen's Island Seafood Restaurant for the best fried fish plant and out of this world views of sunset over the marsh. Folly also has a long walking pier where you can watch people fishing. The Tides offers oceanfront dining.
