Wet But Wonderful
A dry season doesn't exist on the southeastern coastline, so prepare for a mild, moist climate whenever you visit Mount Pleasant. Summer days provide great beach weather, topping out at 90 degrees, while January lows hover just above freezing. If you like it hot, visit between June and September, but anticipate mid-summer thunderstorms. If snow is included in your Mount Pleasant fantasies, your best bet is late January.
Southern Comfort
Come swim at the beaches and play at the parks—Mount Pleasant's weather beckons you outdoors. Sink your toes into the sand of Sullivan’s Island, Folly Beach or Isle of Palms. Picnic in Memorial Waterfront Park, with its exceptional views of Charleston Harbor and a pier fit for dangling feet. Tour 18th-century mansions and former plantations like Boone Hall, which boasts a truly magnificent entryway lined with moss-draped live oaks. Then take a tour of retired U.S. Navy vessels—like the USS Yorktown—in the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum.
Mount Pleasant's Diverse Business Base
You can't name just one industry as the economic powerhouse of Mount Pleasant. The booming business base here is strong and diverse, including many types of industry such as manufacturing, construction suppliers, distribution services, direct mail marketers and plastic manufacturers. Businesses appreciate Mount Pleasant’s strategic location at the intersection of two major expressways.
From There to Here
Fly right into the Mount Pleasant Regional Airport or slightly farther into the Charleston International Airport. You can also arrive by Amtrak, or drive up one of the main roads: US Highway 17 or Interstate 26, which runs northwest to southeast. Once you’re in town, hop on a public bus or rent a car—they’re more convenient for day trips.
