Intro / teaserCharleston rewards slowing down. It is a walking city, flat and shaded and small enough to cross on foot, with the low country and the sea islands just beyond it. I keep a weekend here light and green: a boutique hotel that actually tries, a lot of time outdoors, and food that comes from close by. I stay at Hotel Emeline or The Ryder, walk everywhere I can, and give a full day to the sea islands and the oldest living thing for miles. Here is a slow weekend in Charleston.

Where to Stay in Charleston

Hotel Emeline

Home base is Hotel Emeline, a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown with a real sustainability streak and a good coffee house of its own.

The Ryder Hotel

The Ryder is the breezy, laid back alternative, a short walk from the same historic streets.

What to Do in Charleston

Walk the historic district and Waterfront Park

Walk the old streets down to Waterfront Park for the Pineapple Fountain and the harbour breeze, then along the Battery past the pastel houses.

The Angel Oak

Drive out to Johns Island for the Angel Oak, a live oak thought to be four to five hundred years old, its branches resting on the ground and reaching back up.

Folly Beach at sunset

End the day at Folly Beach, the easy, salt-worn barrier island beach south of the city.

Where to Eat in Charleston

Eat local and low country

Charleston eats well and close to home: Gullah Geechee cooking, sea island produce, shrimp straight off the boats.

Where to Shop in Charleston

Sweet River Berry Farm

Nearby on the island, Sweet River Berry Farm lets you pick your own in season and carry home the kind of fruit that never survives a supermarket.

Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square

If you are here on a Saturday in season, the Charleston Farmers Market fills Marion Square with low country growers, bakers and makers.

How to Get to Charleston

Fly into Charleston

Charleston International is a short ride from downtown, and once you are here the peninsula is small enough to walk.

A slow last morning

One more walk, one more coffee, then the short ride back to the airport, already planning the next slow weekend down here.
