What to do and see in Coastal South Carolina, Coastal South Carolina: The Best Monuments & Statues

April 22, 2022 Frederic Celentano

Miles of white sand and romantic island resorts beckon from the hem of the Palmetto State. Families gravitate to Myrtle Beach and the 60-mile span of Grand Strand, where over 100 championship golf courses, tennis courts and nightclubs await. Charleston’s hundreds of heritage buildings, and irresistible charm, are part of its allure. Beach resorts at Kiawah Island, Seabrook and Edisto Island make for romantic getaways. Marshes, moss-bearded palms and oak groves create ambiance in the haunting Lowcountry.

Fort Moultrie

Federal headquarters for the National Park Service's historic properties located in Charleston and Fort Sumter.

Reviewed By ColeDT - Gloucester, United States

Smaller museum with gift shop. The rangers inside were extremely welcoming and nice! Museum was a one room with an attached theater that showed a short 15 minute movie about the Fort. However, we opted out of watching it. The grounds of the Fort were fun to walk around and explore. Our boys had a blast! The batteries overlook Sullivan Island and the views are great. Looking out we saw three dolphins close to shore playing. We spent a good hour and a half looking around the grounds. Then walked to the beach and enjoyed that for another thirty minutes. We were here in FEB, so its still a more quiet time in Charleston, so the beach was practically bare except for a few people walking their dogs. (Although I don't think this is a swimming beach because there is a huge sign talking about deadly current here) I don't think that is a seasonal sign, but I am not sure of this. Great place to visit, and we will visit again on a warmer day =)

Denmark Vesey Monument

Reviewed By A9518GEmarys

Statue is placed in a beautiful setting. Read about Denmark, then visit the statue. Controversial figure in Charleston's history, but need to learn about him....not taught in American history books in my day.

Robert Smalls Monument

Reviewed By Sdwolgy - Callahan, United States

A simple bust monument with a great quote next to Tabernacle Baptist church he helped to start. His story is one of devotion and hard work.
