Charleston:
American independence, wealth, tradition and access to the sea held the state cultural and political heart in Charleston. Here you`ll find the very best of the South. A genteel nature, so inviting. So gracious, with a strength that has proudly withstood great fires, earthquakes, pirates, a civil war and hurricanes with little more than a bat of an eye. Indeed, the Charleston area is a place that visitors rarely want to leave. In 1995, Glamour magazine rated the area one of the top 10 travel destinations in the U.S., and Condé Nast Traveler readers named it a `Top Ten` domestic destination for four consecutive years. With a metro population of over 500,000, this aristocratic colonial port boasts 73 pre-Revolutionary buildings, 136 from the late eighteenth century and more than 600 others built prior to the 1840s. Come wander along cobblestone streets, smell the sea breezes, explore antique shops and boutiques and treat yourself to delicious fresh seafood.  Come experience the Charleston area - her streets, her homes, her people By horse-drawn carriage, air-conditioned bus, boat, bicycle or on foot, a tour of Charleston is a remarkable journey through time. Every day the marshes are alive with the calls of birds and rustling flight. Fish leap in the dark clear streams that feed the wetlands; an alligator lifts its blunt nose through the surface of a still, brackish slough and aims for a place in the sun. By night, the moon will bathe a beach, a ruined church, a moss-bearded palm and live oak grove in silvery light. Add to the natural romance of this place the range and quality of activities, from water sports, golf, tennis, cycling and beachcombing, through to the arts, sightseeing and plain relaxing, and the sum is one of the world`s most superb vacation or retirement areas. Hilton Head Island, with its four main resort communities of Palmetto Dunes, Port Royal Resort, Sea Pines and Shipyard Plantation, features 12 miles of broad beaches. The Island offers more than 20 public or semi-private championship golf courses, several frequented by renowned master players. The MCI Classic is played here, and private lessons, golf schools and clinics are available at many clubs. Tennis is also a big attraction on Hilton Head with some 300 courts, more than any other resort of its size in America. Tournaments abound and the island hosts the Family Circle Magazine Cup annually. Mild temperatures, averaging in the 50s in winter and high 80s in summer, encourage outdoor pleasures most days of the year. Accommodations range from oceanfront camping through charming bed and breakfasts. Bountiful fresh seafood and the best in traditional Southern cooking share the regional menu with a nearly endless variety of good food, from the grand resorts to country crossroads.
