Have an Amazing Day at Second Sunday in Charleston

Kiawah and Seabrook Islands offer a private and secluded hideaway that’s just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of historic downtown Charleston. This proximity makes venturing into the heart of the Holy City a breeze for a special event, delicious meal, or an afternoon of shopping.

One activity that combines all of the above is Second Sunday on King Street. Each month, Second Sunday in Charleston offers an afternoon of vehicle-free, pedestrian-only exploration on King Street, which ranks as one of U.S. News & World Report’s 10 Best Shopping Streets in the U.S.
