Diversions dazzle

What’s going on in North Charleston? Most everything is on offer in this happening hub a mere 15 minutes from downtown Charleston. As the city this year celebrates its fiftieth anniversary, it does so trumpeting robust economic development, diversification and retail sales leading state. Sample fare at a locally-sourced eatery or superior craft beer from a Park Circle brewpub. Thrill the kids at the visitor center at the North Charleston Fire Engine Museum or on the new inclusive playground, the largest in the nation. Stock up on stylish looks at nearby Tanger Outlets.

Park Circle

Less than ten miles north of downtown, Park Circle is a lively community with unique character. A top local destination with a distinct neighborhood vibe, Park Circle is a planned community that dates back to the early 1900s. As its name suggests, Park Circle is anchored by a central circular park which is echoed by several other nearby green spaces—including the city’s own disc golf course, which is free to the public.

Known today as North Charleston’s old “Main Street,” Park Circle’s East Montague Ave. is lined with quite a few storefronts and eateries. Grab a cup of coffee, pop into some local shops and snag a bite to eat, all without needing to wander too far in this very walkable area.

Explore This Area

I believe that every story in Charleston traces its origins back to the water in one way or another. If you don’t see Charleston by water somehow then you’re not getting a round experience of Charleston. Charleston is a water town.
