Mt. Pleasant, SC: Located just across the Cooper River from Charleston and the home of the Patriot's Point Naval & Maritime Museum lies the lovely and historic town of Mount Pleasant, founded in 1680. During the past 10 years Mount Pleasant has experienced rapid, but carefully planned development. While gaining the positive attributes of a city, Mount Pleasant has carefully preserved its rich heritage and small town appeal.

Mount Pleasant can offer visitors reasonably priced accommodations, upscale and scenic dining, carefully preserved historical attractions, recreational facilities and a variety of visitor services to make your stay more enjoyable. Mount Pleasant is just a short drive from downtown Charleston and
area beaches - right in the middle of everything!
