In the new issue of National Geographic Adventure magazine, Charleston is named one of "the fifty next great adventure towns."
"Think of Charleston as the jock in the Southern belle set. With new offshore ecotours and surfing at nearby Folly Beach, the pretty city's outdoor action now matches its good looks. Locals kayak the Ashley River, horseback ride from the historic Inn at Middleton Place, or hike among cypresses."
Roger Warren, vice chairman of the board of governors for the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the designation is an honor. "Whether scouring historic forts, biking the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America or kitesurfing off our beautiful beaches, there are many adventures to be had in the Charleston area," Warren said.
Between the kayaking, fishing, surfing, hiking, and a multitude of historic sites to visit, Charleston offers outdoor activities that appeal to a wide range of ages. Its no wonder that more and more people are not just looking to Charleston as a vacation destination anymore, but as a home. If you know of anyone who is considering moving to Charleston, give me a call!
