🍂 Why Visit Charleston in the Fall?
Fall is arguably the best time to explore Charleston. With daily temperatures in the 60s and 70s, it's the perfect weather for strolling through the historic district or enjoying a sunset sail on the harbor. The city slows down from the busy summer pace, giving you room to breathe—and explore like a local.
And when it comes to scenery? Think Spanish moss swaying in the breeze, oak-lined alleys glowing with autumn light, and cool coastal evenings spent sipping wine on a rooftop terrace.
