The lower peninsula, from Broad Street up to the Market and lower King, is the postcard Charleston: cobblestones, pastel houses, and everything walkable.
A few blocks north, Upper King is the lively end, a walkable strip of restaurants, cocktail bars, and boutiques. It's still on the peninsula and close to everything, with more energy at night.
Across the river, Mount Pleasant and the beach islands (Sullivan's, Isle of Palms) trade walkability for space, quiet, and the coast.
It costs nothing, and it's the most quietly beautiful half-hour in the city.
