Charleston is the states second largest city and it is located near the middle of South Carolina's coast. Its historic downtown is on a peninsula formed by two rivers, Ashley and Cooper, flowing into the Atlantic, and protected from the open ocean by surrounding islands.

If you are trying to get around Charleston, one of the easiest ways is to take a taxi cab. Cabs are an inexpensive way to get around the city without the need to rent a car. Another fun way to get around Charleston is a Richshaw taxi, which is a bicycle taxi. You can get anywhere in the downtown peninsula for just a few dollars per person. The taxis run from early in the morning to late at night, seven days a week. The last type of taxi is the Charleston Water Taxi which transports people from the Charleston Maritime Center to Patriots Point, which is the home of the U.S.S Yorktown.
