In addition to Fort Sumter, Charleston has Fort Moultrie, the Fort Lamar Heritage Preserve and Patriots Point Museum.
There are a number of plantations like Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Drayton Hall.
Not too far South of Charleston is the Caw Caw Interpretive Center.
Getting around historic downtown Charleston is pretty easy with the Free Trolley Service.
Savanah has a lot to see and do. In the military history venues arena, there are Old Fort Jackson, Fort McAllister, Fort Pulaski and the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum.
For cultural history, there is the Wormsloe State Historic Site and the Savannah History Museum located next to the Visitor's Center which has lots of parking and shuttle bus and tour bus stops.
On the nature side of things, the Oatland Island Wildlife Center run by the Savannah School District is a good environmental education center that is open to the public. There is Skidaway Island State Park, Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge.
There are lots of Shops along the River Front Plaza.
