Things to Do Outdoors

Popular activities around the Charleston area

On the Water

Kayaking & Paddleboarding

Paddle through Shem Creek, the Ashley River, or the tidal creeks around Folly Beach. Rental outfitters available at most launch points.

Cycling

Biking the Ravenel Bridge

The 2.5-mile pedestrian and bike lane across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge offers one of the best views in Charleston — especially at sunset.

Nature

Birding & Wildlife

The Lowcountry is a birder's paradise. Visit the Center for Birds of Prey or explore the marshes at Caw Caw Interpretive Center for herons, egrets, and osprey.
