With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Goose Creek, 30 miles away, has to offer. Northwoods Mall should be toward the top of your list here. Whirlin’ Waters Adventure Waterpark and Cypress Gardens are interesting attractions too. Situated 35 miles away, Charleston is another place to aim for. If you drop by, make sure you check out Charleston City Market, Patriots Point and Waterfront Park.
