Attractions

Every day my guests ask for suggestions for things to do. I always suggest that they get out on the water. One great way to do that is with a water tour with the folks at Charleston Tours. A sunset cruise on the Schooner Pride will create a memory that will last a lifetime.  www.schoonerpride.com

A harbor cruise on the Carolina Belle provides sun and salt air with beautiful panoramic views of the Battery and Fort Sumter. I recently attended a business meeting on the Carolina Belle, and the in-house catering was exceptional! I’m still dreaming about that shrimp gazpacho! Yum!!!!

Toast! Restaurant

Toast! is located at 155 Meeting Street, right where your tour begins. Arrive early for a rich cup of coffee ground fresh daily before your tour or a delicious breakfast or lunch. I recommend the Tropical Toast for a great morning starter!
