You must stroll, run, bike, take a carriage ride, or a bike taxi through The Battery. Follow East Bay Street, south of Broad, and admire the splendor of the Antebellum mansions which lead to the Battery.

Neighborhoods
The beach is not far from my house. Take 17 North to Coleman Boulevard, and follow it through Mt. Pleasant, over the Intracoastal waterway, to the Atlantic Ocean. The island is rich with history, some not so pretty, but the setting of the sun is gorgeous. Sullivan's has several restaurants, Fort Moultrie, and the Captain's Quarters on Ion.
