Things to do in Charleston in November


With mild temperatures still gracing the Carolina Coast during November, a walking tour is a perfect activity for exploring Charleston. Choose between tours that will show you highlights of historical sites around the city, culinary tours to show you the best restaurants to feed your appetite, and even ghost tours that show you the spookier side of town.

When the weather dips below ideal beach weather, we recommend exploring the best restaurants in Charleston. Stop in for some barbecue at local favorites like Rodney Scott’s BBQ or Lewis Barbecue or head to Leon’s Oyster Shop for a raw bar and southern-style fried chicken.
