My Charleston summer picks to beat the heat

Is it ever really too hot for the beach?  A great alternative is the cool water of James Island County Park's Splash Zone.  This 643-acre park offers recreational opportunities from tidal creek fishing to trails for walking, biking and skating. The 50-foot tall Climbing Wall facility features more than 4,500 square feet of climbing space and up to 14 top ropes available for climbing. The Splash Zone Waterpark offers two 200-ft tube slides, a 500-ft lazy river, a leisure pool and a Caribbean play structure. A campground, picnic center with shelters, vacation cabins, meeting facilities, and boat and bike rentals are other amenities.
