Charleston SC - Suggest I in a

Great little town about 30 minutes north - MCClellenville! Boats are right there for the freshest shrimp and fish possible! Agree about patriot's Point as well. Try a walking tour of the historic area - a great way to get a true flavor of the city. A great local watering hole - The Griffon (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g54171-d436603-Reviews-Griffon-Charleston_South_Carolina.html - near the battery. We make sure we go there every time we are in town.

Patriots Point - it's a Naval museum, mostly outdoors, with some Navy & Coast Guard ships & boats you can tour. Better than it sounds. :) Also the Angel Oak tree, south of town, near Johns Island, I believe.

Visiting Charleston for the next six days, here last year for afewere days and did Ft. Sumpter, The Battery. What's some other must see ideas. This was a quick departure and did have time to research and plan our stay. We like "back roads" type things, local eateries, cruising the countryside, etc.

Thanks in advance, travel safe.

Take in a plantation tour like Drayton Hall, visit the Hunley museum. Ride up to FT Moultrie in Mt Pleasant and ride around Sullivans Island. Visit Angel Oak on John's Island. Take a ride on the Ashley River road which is home to many large preserved plantations.
