If you're in the mood to jazz it up tonight, then head to one of Charleston's best jazz bars, the Charleston Grill. Technically, the venue is a restaurant, but the elegance and nightlife appeal of the place makes sense when you add the highly appealing live jazz, which is presented every night of the week. Most evenings, enjoy the live sounds of acclaimed local jazz maestros, the Quentin Baxter Ensemble, but on Sundays, the Bob Williams Duo, a local favorite, takes stage. You can enjoy the music while you relax in the lavish dining room or enjoy a cocktail in the classy bar area.

If your kids love to have fun in the sun, there's no better place to let them run wild than Folly Beach, affectionately known as "The Edge of America." This beautiful barrier island is a quick 15 minute drive from downtown Charleston and the Folly Beach County Park is located at the east end of the island. Showers, bathrooms and other conveniences are close by, and the sand, surf and sun of this popular stretch of beach will fast become one of your family's traditions whenever you're in Charleston.

Charleston's Kiawah Island has been consistently ranked as one of the nation's top beaches. Whether you're visiting for a day or on vacation for a week, you'll waste no time finding your place in the sun on these pristine sands or in the inviting surf. The beach stretches out nearly 10 miles, and within the area you'll also find golf courses and historic plantations, among other outdoor attractions. But no matter how many great things there are to see, you'll find yourself returning to Kiawah Island's unforgettable beaches again and again.
