Schooner Pride Sailing
Charleston boasts about 90 miles of Atlantic coastline. What better way to enjoy it than by sailing on an 84-foot-tall ship with your significant other in the Charleston Harbor? Modeled after the 18th Century schooners used for coastal trading, the Schooner Pride can hold up to 49 passengers and offers dolphin sails, sunset sails, and more. It’s also powered solely by wind, so you and your loved one won’t have to tolerate toxic fumes or noise pollution.
Morris Island Lighthouse Trail
If you and your significant other are wilderness enthusiasts, taking a day to explore the Morris Island Lighthouse Trail is the perfect romantic getaway for you. It’s located off a secluded beach south of the Charleston harbor entrance. After a short walk, you’ll be able to view the gorgeous scenery at any time of the day or night. Bestofcharlestonsc.com writes, “The walk of a quarter of a mile is definitely a romantic stroll worth taking. The moment you reach the crest of the dune and can take in the view of this beautiful historic site out at sea is breathtaking. A walk along one of the more secluded Charleston beaches is certainly worth the trip in and of itself.”
Horse Drawn Carriage Rides
Finally, taking horse drawn carriage rides with your significant other is the absolute best way to end any type of romantic getaway. Private carriage tours capture the essence of everything romantic, and being able to see some of Charleston’s most famous sights while spending time with the person you love most in the world is something you just can’t put a price on.
