Three Ways to Keep Cool in Charleston This August

When summer brings the highest temperatures to Charleston, there are plenty of ways to stay cool and have fun even on the hottest days. Here are three ideas to help you beat the heat in Charleston this month.

1. Have a Frozen Drink With a 360-degree View.

Nothing makes you feel cool on a hot day like an icy cold drink. At Stars Rooftop and Grill on 495 King Street, you can sip frozen drinks while enjoying a 360-degree view of downtown Charleston. Arrive early at this popular spot that specializes in craft cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere.

Charleston’s climate makes the downtown area a hub for rooftop bars. Views uninterrupted by skyscrapers put the focus on sky and sea. There are many rooftop destinations throughout the city where you can cool off while taking in the scenery.

2. Take a Sunset Cruise.

Another excellent way to beat the heat during the Charleston summer is to take a sunset cruise. Several different options are available in the area, including Schooner Pride, Harborview Charters, and Sandlapper Water Tours.

The Schooner Pride is a relaxing cruise without narration that allows you to enjoy the sights and the water in any way you please. Harborview Charters offers several different scheduled tours to meet the needs of almost any passenger, including a 90-minute cruise at sunset. Sandlapper Water Tours offers a calm cruise along Charleston’s harbor.

3. View Art in Air-conditioned Comfort.

If you’d prefer to stay indoors on a hot day, one of the best options in Charleston is a tour of an air-conditioned museum. Charleston’s Museum Mile offers many different museums to suit a variety of interests, including the Gibbes Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry, the Washington Light Infantry, the Charleston Museum, and many more.
