We drove into Charleston to see the area starting at the visitor’s center and then took the shuttle to the City Market. We then walked around the area and went to “Rainbow Row“, saw the famous Pineapple Fountain, viewed the USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier from across the bay.

We then walked to the White Point Gardens and the Battery. Lots of old Cannons and a great park. Then, it was a 2+ mile walk to Rodney’s BBQ. Very delicious. To get back to the visitor’s center, we hopped on a couple of Lime eBikes.

To end the day, we drove to see the Angel Oak Tree. This is oldest / largest Oak Tree East of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, we got there right at closing and were not able to visit the gift shop.

On our last full day in Hilton Head, we visited the old downtown of Bluffton, SC. Beautiful old buildings and more great trees. The Bluffton Oyster Company is the last commercial fresh oyster shucking house on the East Coast.

On Saturday, we went to the Island and drove around “Sea Pines”. Sea Pines is a 5,000-acre community that encompasses private neighborhoods as well as a resort, forest preserve with horse stables, PGA Tour golf course, marina and town center with shopping and dining options. It’s the most popular estate on the island and just $9 will get you into Sea Pines so you can explore all the fun activities (but no eBikes are allowed). Very beautiful and expensive.

We visited the Harbor Light Tower Museum which overlooks Harbor Town Golf Course – Famous for many golf tournaments over the decades. The red-and-white-striped Harbour Town Lighthouse is one of the most famous landmarks on Hilton Head. The lighthouse, built more than 40 years ago, offers tours and a spectacular view from above.

We then went to the other end of Sea Pines to have a beverage at the Salty Dog Cafe.
