Charleston finds itself on a lot of Top 10 lists every year. There’s a reason for that: it offers something for everyone. The Charleston Lowcountry is renowned for its idyllic setting, stunning beaches, antebellum history, dynamic nightlife, and world-class seafood. This storied coastal region is fortunate to have a mild year-round climate, warm breezy summers, and plenty of sunshine.

As the locals will tell you, “the outdoor season is all year long.” Of course, summertime is the favorite season for many, and for good reason. Families head to the water for recreation and relaxation. Fishing, shrimping, crabbing, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding are popular pastimes in the marsh, on local rivers and estuaries, and of course, along the beachfront. But that’s just the beginning. To help you maximize your summer fun, we have prepared this Lowcountry To-Do List to help you create new memories each and every day.
