Shopping

Visitors to the downtown historic district will be bombarded with all kinds of kitsch – souvenir t-shirts, sugary fudge, shot glasses. Little boys selling handmade straw roses work the local parks and plazas. Careful shoppers will find plenty of lowcountry treasures, from authentic Gullah baskets to antebellum jewelry.
