The Charleston Stage Company lives up to the magnitude of its name, offering entertainment for the whole family. Founded in 1978 by playwright Julian Wiles, this venue is the state's largest professional theater company in operation and it resides in the city's equally impressive Dock Street Theatre. The quality of their productions is quite impressive as the performers and directors are not only seasoned professionals but also meticulous when it comes to honing their craft to the finest detail. Shows such as Chicago, Inga Binga and more are slated throughout the season, and special workshops and presentations for children are also slated at various times of the year.

The Isle of Palms County Park features a highly attractive 600-feet of ocean frontage that can accommodate plenty of surfside activities. In addition to such amenities as showers, restrooms and snack bars, you'll also find boardwalks and picnic areas that are perfect backdrops for relaxing in the great outdoors by the sea. Also, there is a convenient place to rent beach chairs, umbrellas, Boogieboards and more.

The Charleston Museum has always prided itself in bringing aspects of our history together and presenting them in a truly compelling fashion. Among their many exhibits and attractions, you'll find how the role of textiles played a vital part in the Civil War in a popular exhibit called the Threads of War. Also, a similarly themed exhibit focuses on how Charleston survived being under siege during that particular war and how it pressed on to become the vital city that it is today. More interactive adventures like Kids Story and much more continue the museum's rich tradition of reaching into the lives of children who will one day pass the stories and experiences they've learned here along to their own kids.

Don't let the name fool you. Closed For Business is one of Charleston's favorite bars on the nightlife scene, not only because of it's ironic name, but because it boasts an incredible beer selection. Making a choice of what beverage you'll enjoy might be tougher than you think, as the bar features 30 draught beers, roughly 50 bottled beers, a seasonal beer menu, monthly beer menu and even beer flights! But don't worry, if beer isn't your thing, there's an equally impressive set of premium liquors and wines to choose from. A great atmosphere, a satisfying menu that features sandwiches and snacks, and a community pool table all help to ensure that Closed For Business will never find itself without a large number of customers.
