- When you want to take a break from the beach, historic downtown Charleston is a 10-minute car ride across the famous Cooper River Bridge. 10-miles away, you can bargain with our vendors at the famous slave market, shop for sweetgrass baskets, sample the food in five star restaurants, take a carriage tour, see the sharks at the Aquarium and walk along the battery at White Point Gardens. Not to mention, the great art galleries and antique stores along King and Broad. It's the ultimate family vacation wrapped up in one!
