Charleston, United States
Dog Friendly Charleston
Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Charleston
Charleston is a historic port city on the South Carolina coast, with an old centre of narrow streets, pastel houses, church spires and live oaks hung with moss. The Battery and the waterfront look out over the harbour, and the beaches and marshes of the Lowcountry lie just across the bridges. It is one of the best food cities in the American South and one of the most walkable, which suits a dog very well. Spring and autumn are the seasons to come.
