Golf Courses or Roy Barth Tennis Center

There are several golf courses located all around Charleston, I would recommend booking your tee time ahead of time. Roy Barth Tennis Center is located on Kiawah Island over an hour away.
Was einpacken?

Comfortable shoes, a hat, a sweatshirt, and suntan lotion.

Walking around Downtown Charleston many sidewalks and streets are cobblestone, so a little uneven. Even in the Summer you will get an Ocean breeze at night.
