Southern charm with a side of late-night chaos on King Street.
Charleston blends cobblestone elegance with a surprisingly rowdy bar scene. King Street is the main artery, lined with rooftop bars and speakeasies, while Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach provide daytime escapes. Perfect for groups that want to look classy in their Instagram photos but still close down the bars.
