Charleston is best for brides who…
There’s a reason that Charleston is ranked in the top 5 for bachelorette party destinations. If the bride is torn between a beach trip and a big city weekend, Charleston is the perfect happy medium. Your group can stay on the beach and take a yoga class in the sand and then go into the city for a day at the spa and cocktail crawl on King Street. Or, stay in the city and make a quick 25 minute drive to the beach for a day in the sun. Either way, Charleston won’t disappoint! Charleston is best for brides who:-
Love the beach – Stay 25 minutes from downtown Charleston at Folly Beach.
-
Enjoy classy cocktail bars and fine wines – Chat over punch bowls at the Cocktail Club.
-
Appreciate good seafood – Head to O-Ku for the freshest sushi (and best dance party) in Charleston.
Where to Stay
Stay in historic downtown Charleston and be minutes away from the happening bar, restaurant and shopping scene, or kick back and relax with an AirBNB on the beach. Either way, you can experience the best of both worlds with a Charleston Bachelorette trip.-
Downtown/King Street – Experience the heart of old-world Charleston when you stay Downtown.
- Folly Beach – Step into a Nicholas Sparks book when you stay on the coast of South Carolina in Folly Beach.
