There are so many things to love about the Lowcountry but here are 10 of our favorites. What would you add to the list?
- Pluff mud: That dark soft soil found in our many marshes. It sticks to your shoes and your soul.
- Waterfront Park: Snag a spot on one of the pier swings and keep your eyes open for a dolphin sighting.
- Azaleas: These shrubs pop with pinks and white in the spring.
- Sunsets on the Charleston Harbor.
- Boiled peanuts straight out of a paper bag.
- Joggling boards: Spotted on historic homes throughout the area, legend goes that young couples would sit at either end and “joggle” toward each other for a special moment.
- Shrimp and grits: Delicious. ‘Nuf said.
- Morris Island Lighthouse on Folly Beach: This iconic lighthouse began operating in 1876. Save the Light is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the lighthouse and saving it from erosion.
- Wonder’s Way: Get a bird’s eye view of Charleston from the bike and pedestrian path on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge spanning the Cooper River.
- Charleston Green: A color seen often in historic properties but looks more like black at first glance.
