Tampa to Charleston is an easy under-90-minute flight to one of the South's most beloved cities — a favorite for weddings, golf at Kiawah, and long weekends among the cobblestones and Lowcountry kitchens.
Charleston's appeal is timeless: antebellum architecture, horse-drawn streets, barrier-island beaches, and a food scene that punches far above the city's size. It's a perennial top wedding and getaway destination, and from Tampa the flight is short enough to leave after breakfast and be at lunch on King Street.
Popular for: Weddings, Kiawah & Seabrook golf, Spoleto Festival, historic-district getaways, Cooper River Bridge Run.
The Charleston Place anchors the historic district with grand-hotel service, while Hotel Bennett overlooks Marion Square with rooftop views and a French-inspired spa. For intimate luxury, The Spectator Hotel and Zero George deliver boutique charm. Out on the islands, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is the choice for golfers and beach weekends.
Charleston is a Lowcountry culinary capital. FIG and The Ordinary (both from acclaimed chef Mike Lata) lead the scene — the latter a buzzing oyster hall in a former bank. Husk reinvents Southern cooking in a historic home, and Chez Nous offers a tiny, daily-changing menu beloved by locals. 167 Raw is the go-to for seafood.
Stroll Rainbow Row and the Battery, tour historic plantations and gardens like Magnolia and Middleton Place, shop King Street's boutiques, or take the ferry to Fort Sumter. Golfers head to Kiawah's Ocean Course, host of the PGA Championship.
