Activities and Attractions The Isle of Palms, with its six miles of pristine white sand
beaches, is as much a place of beautiful serenity for residents and visitors today as it was thousands of years ago for the Seewee
Indians and hundreds of years ago for the colonists who followed. Being the birthplace of golf in America, Wild Dunes and the
Charleston area abound with some of the top-rated courses in the nation. There are eco-tours, dinner cruises, and at the Wild Dunes Marina
you can rent jet skis, or go parasailing. You can fish right in the resort or go deepwater fishing. Bike rental is available in
Wild Dunes (and Mount Pleasant) and miles of Walking/Jogging/Biking paths (and quaint streets) extend to reach every area in
and around the resort. Even though the nearby shopping, dining and sight-seeing in Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island and the City of
Charleston are great, most people are content to spend the majority of their time in The Wild Dunes Resort itself swimming in or watching
the ocean and playing or relaxing on the beach.
If you love history, you can spend your entire vacation steeped in the history of Charleston and surrounding islands. Just go 5 minutes
from Wild Dunes Resort toward Sullivan’s Island and you will cross Breach Inlet where the Hunley submarine was launched during the
Civil War. Sullivan’s Island also has Fort Moultrie (British attack in 1776 repelled by colonists who then began a tradition of seacoast
defense) and from there go 5 minutes further to Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant where you can tour the USS Yorktown and see the
Hunley. From Patriots Point it is only 5 more minutes to downtown Charleston where history abounds.
The city of Charleston is a fascinating place to explore. Its Revolutionary War and Civil War history will be forever entangled in
time and space with the city itself. Step back into the past and experience Charleston by visiting the local historic plantations and
gardens. See original plantation houses, gardens, slave cabins, smoke houses, and other remnants from plantation life. Beautiful
parks in the area provide for a variety of outdoor recreational activities including hiking, picnicking, swimming, camping, boating,
and fishing. You can visit Boone Hall Plantation, Charleston Waterfront Park, Charleston Tea Plantation, Charles Towne Landing,
Cypress Gardens, Drayton Hall, Brook Green Gardens, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, Middleton Place and many others!
Charleston is proud of its natural, cultural, and military history and has done a remarkable job of preserving it and interpreting it in
the various museums throughout the city. Charleston is also a major center for the arts, with museums featuring American art from the
18th century through the present. Charleston’s museums and galleries offer visitors a broad perspective of the history and culture that
have made Charleston what it is today. Points of interest include The Charleston Museum (the oldest museum in the US), The Citadel
Museum, The Confederate Museum, Gibbes Museum of Art, Karpeles Manuscript Museum (houses the largest private collection of
historically significant manuscripts in the world), Museum of the Common, Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon (visited by
George Washington and jail house for pirates), Shem Creek Maritime Museum and Library, South Carolina Aquarium and many others!
Charleston’s history is evident throughout the city. Historic houses, churches, and forts throughout the area give visitors a
glimpse into the past. Well-preserved architecture and furnishings help to document what life was like in Charleston’s early days.
Guided tours are available and admission is charged at some attractions. Points of interest include the Aiken-Rhett House,
Dock Street Theatre, Edmondston-Alston House, First Baptist Church (circa 1682, oldest Baptist Church in the South), Fort Sumter
(first shot of the Civil War was fired on this fort), Joseph Manigualt House (c. 1843), Nathaniel Russell House
(c. 1809), Old St. Andrews Parish Church (c.1706 and still in use), St. Michael's Episcopal Church (George Washington worshiped
here in 1791), St. Philip's Episcopal Church (c. 1670; light was put in steeple to help guide ships to port) and many others!
Guided tours are a good way to see the city and learn its glorious history at the same time. The large variety of tours allows you to
experience Charleston, SC on foot, by bus, carriage, trolley, limousine, boat, or even hot air balloon. General tours are
available, as are more specialized adventures. Specialty tours focus on such topics as the Civil War, the Colonial Period, Black History,
Ghosts of Charleston, Historic Architecture, Churches & Graveyards, and Art & Literature. Looking for something different? Try a Tea
Party Stroll, a Ghost Walk, or a Murders and Mysteries tour. There are Charleston web sites that can give you a list of all the
carriage tours, walking tours and boat tours. But Charleston is not just history. Excellent shopping, famous dining experiences
and a vibrant night life make this multi-college town a pleasure to experience. Charleston is renowned for its high
cultural events including the annual Spoleto USA festival with an array of artistic performances for everyone. Opera, dance, jazz,
theater, orchestral, chamber contemporary music, literary and visual arts and more fill the theaters and halls of the area during this
special two weeks every year. There are exciting events happening year-round in Charleston. Some of the most popular include the
January Low Country Oyster Festival, February Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, March and April Festival of Houses and Gardens, May and
June Spoleto Festival USA, September and October Candlelight Tours of Houses and Gardens and MOJA (African-American and Caribbean Art
and Culture) Festival, November Miss SC Pageant, Wild Dunes Resort IOP Tennis Invitational, Art and Oysters Festival and December
Christmas in Charleston Festival and Christmas Parade of Boats! Anytime of year is a good time to visit!
