More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun leans low over Charleston Harbor and the Palmetto Breeze glides away from Shem Creek, the boardwalk falling into a wash of gold. Salt air tugs at your shirt and conversation loosens as the city skyline recedes; the Ravenel Bridge rises like a modern archway while marsh grass edges the route with a hush. For two hours you ride the push and lull of tidal channels, cameras raised for Fort Sumter’s stoic silhouette and the hulking profile of the USS Yorktown.
