An absolute gem: Croghan's is a family-owned jewellery shop that has been around for over 100 years. Their Goldbug Collection designed by the owners' daughters Mariana Hay and Kathleen Hay Hagood is a Southern must-have souvenir.

Oysters are pretty much the bread and butter of Charleston's food scene. And with that in mind, The Quinte is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. In addition to their rotating selection of oysters, they have a tightly edited but delicious seafood-focused menu. 

Off Track Ice Cream is a smash hit amongst locals. This sweet little ice cream parlour uses the best local ingredients to create rich, inventive flavours.
