- Sunscreen: Bring lots of it. Whether walking around, sailing, or playing on the beaches, the sun is intense. Why ruin your vacation with a nasty burn when you can prevent it?
- A hat: This is self-explanatory, but wearing a hat the best way to keep the sun off your face.
- Your appetite: One thing Charleston isn't lacking is restaurants. You're sure to find the perfect dining spot for your taste and budget. Come hungry!
- Extra cash for shopping: Antiques, clothes, handbags, shoes, chocolates, jewelry, rare books...it's impossible to walk along King Street and not have something catch your eye.
- Your camera: Just bring it. You won't regret it.
- Walking shoes: Comfortable walking shoes are essential. No one wants to wait on you while you doctor that blister for the third time.
- Dancing shoes: You've seen the city by day, why not venture out after 10 p.m. and hit the clubs and bars? Come on, you're on vacation-live a little!
- Patience: We operate a little slower here than most people are used to. Please don't complain when you have to wait five minutes for that latte. Take a seat and relish in the laid-back attitude.
- Manners: We pride ourselves on our manners. Men open doors for women. Shoppers talk to the grocery baggers. We smile and greet each other on the street. We're more than happy to give directions and help you out, just remember your manners when doing so, please.
- Your sense of adventure: Just because a specific place isn't in the tourist brochure, doesn't mean you can't check it out. Ask locals where they go, what they like to do.
