No Crowds:

One of the best reasons to visit Isle of Palms or Sullivan's Island in February is less crowds. Unlike the popular summer months, Charleston and its beaches in the "winter" season is one of the best times to visit. Anywhere you go in the local area, you can explore with a breeze.

Great Weather:

With February forecasts fluctuating between 52 and 76 degrees, escape the cold in our subtropical paradise! Take advantage of the sunny "winter" days and scope out the surrounding shorelines. Enjoy a beach walk and bike ride without the hassle of maneuvering around sunbathers. If you're traveling with your furry friends, take advantage of the off season and bring your dogs to any of Charleston's beaches with extended off leash hours.

Restaurant Convenience:

Of course, we love the summer months but, all of our favorite seafood dives and local beach bars are easier to get into during the off season! Enjoy a true local experience with the ability to walk right into any restaurant with not much of a wait. With the ease of hitting the best spots around town, your most difficult decision will be deciding where to go!

Oyster Roast Season:

Charleston is home to some of the greatest oysters. Enjoy these Charlestonian oysters guilt free as they are sustainably caught, and their shells recycled back to local estuaries! Oyster roasts are the best way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon/evening in the lowcountry. With live music, endless oysters, and local beer, there is fun for everyone. If you're seeking an indoor oyster feast with an ocean view, the Windjammer on Isle of Palms has everything you need! Buckets of oysters and live music every Tuesday during the winter months will sure hit the spot.

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens:

Take a visit to America's oldest public garden! Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, has some of the nation's best views of the camellia blooms as they are in full force. Dubbed "Charleston's Wintertime Blooming Beauties," the blossoming pink and white flowers are a magnificent site. With over 20,000 in bloom, you cannot miss one of Charleston's greatest treasures during the winter months.
