Charleston Area Beaches

With miles of pristine shoreline, five enchanting beach towns and inviting waters year-round, coastal Charleston is a beloved destination for good reason. Here, the tides tell the time. Fresh-caught seafood is the rule, not the exception. And there’s no such thing as a bad time to visit.

None more than a stone’s throw from the airport or the historic district, Charleston’s beaches are remarkably accessible while feeling worlds away. Whichever you choose, our Atlantic enclaves offer a unique invitation: to slip into a slower pace and soak up the charm of the Lowcountry coast.
