There are places that make us fall in love. It’s hard not to feel starry-eyed while taking a stroll down the fairy-tale squares of Historic Charleston, nor to get lost in a sunset while lounging under a canopy of oaks in Wadmalaw Island. Here are some other swoon-worthy destinations for lovebirds to explore.
Set the stage
The first building in America to be designed exclusively for theatrical performance, the Historic Dock Street Theater is home to Charleston Stage, South Carolina’s largest professional theater company. Tickets for Nevermore! Voyage to the Netherworld, running October-November, are now on sale.
Don’t miss a beat
Forte Jazz Lounge offers two live shows with local performers every Thursday through Saturday and is the ideal setting for a romantic date. Owner Joe Clarke has been entertaining Charleston for over 30 years and founded this venue to share his passion for music with visitors from all around the globe.
Set sail into their arms
Relax on deck and enjoy breathtaking views of Historic Charleston on board a catamaran. Charleston Sailing Adventures sail daily from the Charleston Maritime Center. All trips are guided by US Coast Guard licenced captains and crew who share their knowledge about Charleston’s history and wildlife.
Ride off into the sunset
Palmetto Carriage Works provides dreamy and intimate horse-drawn carriage tours through the cobblestone streets of Historic Charleston. Picturesque and quiet, this is the perfect place to steal a kiss or two. For a little added magic, toss a penny into a fountain and wish for a happily ever after.
Unplug and fall deeper in love
Take a moment away from phones, social media and responding to emails. Relieve stress, anxiety and tingle your senses with a relaxing deep tissue massage or body scrub for two at The Amethyst Spa at The Restoration Hotel. Emerge soothed, feeling brand new, and ready to take on the world together.
