"Hunting Island State Park on TripAdvisor's Top 10 Beach List" Hey, don't tell anyone ...... but we have one of the most pristine beaches in the world right here in the Lowcountry - and it's accessible by vehicle - no boat needed. This isolated barrier island is the end of the line of SC Hwy 21. In the 1970's it had a decent surf break, dudes from Florida even made the safari to ride the Hunting Island, South Carolina swells. Today it's the most popular campground in SC. Enjoy the isolated beach, climb the lighthouse, lose yourself picking up shells, watch the few remaining shrimp boats, and - one last word: "bikinis." Carolina girls and Georgia peaches in two pieces. We have mixed emotions about letting you in on this. Please be respectful of the place. It's a wonderful treasure. From I-95: Take Hwy 21 E. toward Beaufort, SC. Drive 42 mi. Hwy 21 ends at the park.85 miles from Charleston, S.C.56 miles from Savannah, GA. Perfect for a day trekker to stretch their legs in the fresh air and sun. http://www.citytrex.com/blog/hunting-island-south-carolina.php Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:52:22 -0500 7:00 travel, tourism, Hunting Island South Carolina CityTrex Download This Podcast Now Alice Riley was an indentured servant who arrived in America in December 1733.

This casual walking tour reveals how the 300-year-old Charleston cultural mix of Europeans and Africans permeates the city's architecture, the visual arts, and its customs. For three centuries Charleston has survived wars, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and social strife - and despite it all, retained both her style and her dignity. Saunter along the Old and Historic Charleston iTour in a district that traces its origins from the 1670s and contains over 3,000 historic buildings, the result of the ongoing and dedicated efforts of people working together to preserve Charleston's distinctive character. In this tour, guided by famous Charleston guide Ed Macy, stroll down cobblestone streets past magnificent churches, grand mansions and beautiful gardens, all meticulously maintained, nearly frozen in time. History buffs will relish their choice of museums dedicated to the Civil War and the Old South. This living mix of past and present entertains and informs with Ed Macy's colorful insights and well-told narrative. http://www.citytrex.com/itours/old-and-historic-charleston.php Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:57:51 -0500 7:00 travel, tourism, 14.99 CityTrex The French Quarter of Downtown Charleston was settled in 1670 as part of the original "Grande Modell of Charles Towne". Among the historic buildings you will discover are the Pink House Tavern, built around 1712, and the Slave Mart, opened in 1859. Explore fine art galleries, choose from many restaurants and detour through Charleston's Waterfront Park. French Quarter must-sees include the first theater in the New World - the Dock Street Theatre, St. Philip's Episcopal Church (1835), and the French Huguenot Church, a Gothic-style church of the sole-surviving French Calvinist Congregation in the U.S. If you can sample only one tour of Charleston, sample the French Quarter. Bundle this with adjoining tours and you'll experience that much more of historic Charleston as you save. http://www.citytrex.com/itours/french-quarter.php Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:44:10 -0500 7:00 travel, tourism, 14.99 CityTrex Trace the footsteps of wealthy cotton brokers, stevedores, slaves, and ship captains on this fascinating stroll along narrow streets of ballast stone.

Street musicians croon, and bountiful seafood flavors the air of the Port of Savannah. The aroma of freshly baked pralines are irresistible. See the spot where the steam-driven paddle-wheeler, SS Savannah, set its maiden course to Europe. Today, massive container ships glide past within feet of the bricked walkways of Rousakis Plaza. End the tour on Upper Factor's Walk where merchants once huddled to claim fortunes at the Cotton Exchange building, still guarded by a mythical gryphon.
