Our group had a 1/2 day tour of Boone Plantation. Apparently, this is the oldest continuously operating farm in the U.S., starting in the 1700's. The plantation was served by up to 500 slaves over the years and the slave houses are available to visit. We had a fine presentation on the unique language of the slaves and some of the history. When the plantation was first built, two rows of oak trees (25 on each side of the road leading to the main house). Those trees are now gigantic and the view to the house through the trees alone is worth the visit. The visit included a "hay ride" through the plantation and tours of the main house - the current house was built in the 1930s in the Colonial style- the original house was torn down, the second house perished in a fire, the current house is the third and is decorated in the colonial style. An outstanding place to visit. The entry fee I believe is $25 and well worth the price.

The most picturesque waterway in the Lowcountry. Revel in glorious sunsets over Charleston Harbor as you enjoy a stroll on the docks.
Very clean, beautiful area. You feel like your in the movie JAWS lol. We went to see if you could find or spot any dolphins. We heard this is the best spot to see them up close. We walked the Pier and watched for awhile and seen nothing. Others have claimed to spot them in 30 min of being there. I have heard that if you take out a kayak on the water, dolphins can be spotted coming right up to you in them. We defiantly want to do this next time we come back down from Michigan. Because there is no way to get into he water here without a kayak , we opted to go to Folly beach instead so we could get in the ocean. There we seen a few pod of dolphins in the distance. This area is very peaceful though and you can spot a lot of Fiddler Crabs ( the ones with the one large claw ) in the Marsh area and around the sidewalks so look for them. They are pretty neat. Lots of great looking restaurants around the area too. We stayed at Bolt farm luxury treehouses on wadamala island just 20-30 min from here.

We really enjoyed the long walk out on the pier underneath the bridge. Lots of great views and could watch people fishing and walking all along the pier. Everything was clean and neat.
