Charleston Area Sports Commission

The Charleston region has built its reputation as a sports travel destination largely due to the diversity of its state-of-the art venues, catering to world-class athletes, who compete before thousands of spectators. Then again, Charleston's oldest and largest sports venue simply consists of water - 91 miles of Atlantic coastline, major rivers and acres of waterways for water sports competitions every weekend.

Charleston has been the host destination for a number of prestigious sports organizations, showcasing premier events over the years. Let our expert team of destination professionals and community partners assist with hosting your upcoming tournament or sports event within our premier coastal destination.

Soaking in the ambiance of the brick-walked, Spanish-mossed downtown is Charleston's to-do. And the best way to see it all is on a walking tour. Historic homes are also plentiful: The Nathaniel Russell House, Drayton Hall and Magnolia Plantation & Gardens are just a few examples. And if you want to pick up a few travel souvenirs – perhaps a sweetgrass basket – look no further than the Charleston City Market. There are even a few beaches in close proximity – Folly Beach and Isle of Palms, among others – ideal for warm-weather swimming and cold-weather strolling.

The nearest airport to Charleston-SC-USA is the Charleston (CHS) International Airport, which provides a growing list of 60+ nonstop flight options and service from top airline partners. CHS connects you to major cities across the U.S. and is located 9.7 miles north of downtown Charleston's famed historic district.

Additionally, Charleston is well-served by Amtrak's Silver Meteor and Palmetto line, which connects our destination to New York, Washington, DC, Savannah, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami.

The Charleston Area Sports Commission works with all types of sports events, whether it is a first-time, homegrown competition or a world-class, highly competitive-bid event. The ultimate goal is to ensure each event is a financial success for its beneficiaries and an economic success for the Charleston community.
