Charleston, South Carolina Summer Beach Bucket List

Who doesn’t love going to the beach, walking with the sand beneath our toes listening to the Zac Brown Band?  Or maybe laying out and working on an even tan and taking momentary breaks between pages on your Kindle.  Those days of bath temperature ocean water and scorching sun are upon us for a few months.

We think this is the perfect time to plan your Charleston Daily Beach Bucket List.  Why can’t the beach be filled with adventure.  We want to make it easy and provide you with a list of activities to complete at the beach.

Take a week; a month or six months, but make a game out of it and play with your friends and family.
