Weather
Local weather for your stay in Charleston vacation rentals
Charleston, and this craggy stretch of the South Carolina coast, benefits from a subtropical climate. Think long, warm summers and blissfully short, mild winters. Spring is a popular time to visit, when the flowers come into bloom, although Charleston vacation rentals can get booked up in advance. Summer sees the best of the weather, and this brings the crowds. In fall, the sun still shines but evenings are cooler, although it's still an attractive time to visit. Winters are short but sweet, with a dash of rain.
Natural features
I see a little Palmetto of a man, scaramouche!
Perched on the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, Charleston is a charming and historic town in South Carolina. There are plenty of scenic waterfront walks around the peninsula, especially around Battery Park at the southern tip. But for hardier hikes, head out to the Francis Marion National Forest, and the beautiful Palmetto Trail. Running 7 miles through the Awendaw Passage, the route takes in maritime forests lined with palmetto trees and pine, and is a haven for the shorebirds who reside in the salt marshes.
