Sweet, Small-Town Summertime
Our tea is ice-cold and our hospitality is warm.
We love to grab a beautiful meal on the patio at one of our family-owned restaurants and sip a cold one from locally-owned bars, breweries, or wine shops. Of course, you can always find a tall glass of our famous iced tea in the Birthplace of Sweet Tea. We can promise that our tea is always ice cold and highly recommend you ask about the specialty Sweet Tea Cocktails –you will NOT be disappointed.
To be completely honest, one of our favorite way to stay cool in the Deep South is with air conditioning; so why not enjoy the AC while soaking up some retail therapy? With free parking and easy walking, we have a top ten quilt store, lots of antique and home good shops with unique boutiques for that one-of-a-kind treasure.
Bonus: The historic downtown has a tree-lined square with a refreshing fountain right in the middle of all that retail goodness. Treat yourself to an ice cream from the old fashioned soda fountain, pull up a shady park bench and enjoy the scenery.
Our great location makes for the perfect day trip to the many beaches around Charleston. Each has its uniqueness; so stop by the Visitor Center at 402 N Main for a map and discover which beach most fits your style.
And, of course, you've heard of
Charleston just a short drive away- a must-do day trip.
Another way to stay cool in the Summer heat is a slow float down the longest free-flowing black river—the only place to float in the Lowcountry. It's just a short country drive from Downtown Summerville and offers ideal attractions for those hot summer months. Float the river by day and head back to Summerville for a craft cocktail at night. All right outside our back door.
Tell the friendly folks at Edisto River Adventures we sent you, and they will take good care of you.
Our excellent lodging options offer crystal-clear swimming pools and long front porches with all that southern hospitality that we are known for. You will relax and unwind and know this is exactly how a vacation should go.
We can’t wait to see you and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. The Summerville Visitor Center is located at 402 N Main, stop by, and we can help you navigate all that Summerville Charm.
While you are here, be sure to get a picture with the Birthplace of Sweet Tea Mural located on the back of the Summerville Chamber/Visitor Center building.
