Morning Paddle Around Folly : Just like the Ravenel Bridge is a must see while in town , paddling the waters of Charleston is a must do activity . We recommend a rise and shine morning paddle near Folly Island . There a number of tidal creeks to explore but we suggest heading toward Stono River from the Folly landing to check out Bird Key , one of the largest rookeries in the state .
Head Inland to Explore the Palmetto Trail : After a little beach time , head inland to get a taste of the Palmetto Trail-the state ’ s largest bicycle and pedestrian project that will run from the mountains to the sea . We like the Lake Moultrie section which runs along the banks of the lake . The trail is optimal for hiking and biking and even has several primitive campsites for overnight camping . Don ’ t forget to bring your fishing rod to catch some fat catfish in the lake .
Sunset Over Charleston : Head back towards town to cap the Perfect Weekend with a sunset at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan ’ s Island . Fort Moultrie sits on Charleston Harbor , so walk out on the rocky beach for an excellent view of Fort Sumter and the sunset over the Holy City . Fort Moultrie is dog friendly so bring your canine pal ( on leash of course ) to soak in the views .
