If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Situated 19 miles away, Charleston is worth hopping in the car for. Among your first few stops here should be Charleston City Market, Patriots Point and Waterfront Park. Locals will also probably point you toward Goose Creek, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Northwoods Mall. (But we’re also huge fans of Whirlin’ Waters Adventure Waterpark and Cypress Gardens.)
