Shopping
Great spot to stock up on local goodies and also some of Charleston's finest artisans. There's always coffee and a full bar. I go every Sunday that I am in town. Sometimes I eat at the food trucks (Dashi and The Pour House trucks are my two favorites). I also eat at The Lot for brunch any time I can. They have outside seating if it's not too hot as well. The Market is 11am-3pm, but music continues until 9:30pm... and there are multiple great bands all day.
PARKING TIP: Either walk from my house or if it's hot park at corner of Woodland Shores and Maybank Hwy, cross the street and walk the sidewalk to the Charleston Pour House. The market is located behind The Pour House.

Great spot to stock up on all kinds of herbs (like 50 kinds of rosemary plants) and fun plants. I can spend an hour or more perusing the greenhouses. I enjoy doing this while eating at Early Bird Diner on Johns Island (at Main Rd and Maybank Hwy and going by The Angel Oak on Maybank Hwy.
