Lowcountry marina resort
Wide Lowcountry porches look out over South Carolina's largest marina, with Charleston's historic skyline directly across the water.
What it’s good at
Notable
Heated pools and private cabanas spread across a thirty-thousand-square-foot waterfront pool deck.
Listed
The open-air Bridge Bar pours cocktails overlooking Charleston Harbor and the skyline.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more elegant and well-equipped place to stay by the water than at the 92-room Beach Club, which opened in October 2016.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown is moored next door at the Patriots Point naval museum.
The rooms
Coastal blue interiors display paintings by local artist John Carroll Doyle, and private balconies open toward the harbor.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A zero-entry family pool and a heated tranquility pool look out across the harbor, joined by an outdoor whirlpool.
The spa and gym
The Estuary Spa uses Naturopathica products for massages and skin therapies. Downstairs, the gym is open around the clock.
At the table
Charleston Harbor Fish House serves sustainable local seafood, and an open-air pavilion pours tropical drinks beside the pool.
A resort within the city, the Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina has all the amenities of a waterfront getaway: heated adult and family pools, a bocce court, a full-service spa, and a 30-seat movie theater.
How it began
The property anchors state-leased land created in 1996 to fund maintenance for the historic naval warships docked next door.
