WHY CHARLESTON IS WINTER WONDERFUL
Winter. For many in the northern reaches of the country, it’s a season marked by hunkering down, layering up, and counting down the days until spring. But what if winter didn't have to mean enduring the bitter cold, heavy snowfall, and endless layers? What if, instead, you could trade your winter coat for sunglasses and soak up the warm embrace of Charleston's mild winter? We have very good news.
Here at Nexton, when winter arrives, we don't hibernate; we celebrate! Charleston, with its charming streets, historic sites, and year-round outdoor allure, beckons you to experience the magic of winter without the freezing temperatures. And the best part? Nexton is your gateway to all this winter wonder. Let's dive into why Charleston is an all-year round destination, even whilst our neighbors to the north are toting snow shovels and woolen socks.
Sunshine All Year Round
A change of scenery can work wonders for the soul, and at Nexton, that change is available all year round. While others are shivering in the cold, you can bask in Charleston's delightful winter climate, with highs typically in the high 50s and 60s. Think relishing brunch on outdoor patios and strolling along sun-kissed streets. If you're not ready to make a move, come for a visit!
Beachfront Bliss
Yes, you read that right – the beach in winter. It's still beach season in Charleston. And the best part? You won't be elbowing your way through summer tourists. From beach football games to coastal cookouts and tranquil shoreline strolls, our beaches offer year-round fun. Our mild winters are tailor-made for outdoor adventures too - grab a bike and embark on a scenic escapade! While much of the country bundles up indoors during the winter, Nexton residents enjoy the opportunity to continue enjoying the great outdoors, just steps from their homes.
Winter Strolls
Charleston's historic downtown is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Wander along cobblestone streets in the French Quarter, or follow the Charleston Battery, a mile-long promenade overlooking the harbor and lined with the iconic homes of the South of Broad neighborhood. Winter here means fewer tourists, allowing you to savor these sights at your own pace.
Tee Time, Anyone?
Golfers rejoice! In Charleston, golf is a year-round affair. South Carolina's temperate winter means golf is always in season. While daylight hours are shorter, our winters often bring glorious 60-degree days. Few things beat a cool mid-afternoon round on a winter's day in the Lowcountry.
Oysters, Year After Year
Charleston's culinary scene is nothing short of legendary, and winter brings a particular treat – oysters. Oysters thrive along our flat coastline, making winter months, often referred to as 'oyster season,' the perfect time to savor these briny delights. Remember the old saying: "Any month with an 'R' in its name is oyster season." That means winter is prime oyster time in Charleston.
Whether you're cracking them open at a local seafood shack or enjoying them in a high-end restaurant, Charleston's oysters are not to be missed. So, bring an appetite along with your sunglasses, and get ready for a Lowcountry winter.

Here with Nexton, nestled in a welcoming community with an ideal location, as your home base, you can savor every moment of this winter wonderland.
