About Just Beachy Golf Cart Rentals in Charleston, SC
Whether you're staying in Charleston, Sullivan's Island, or Wild Dunes Resort, driving a golf cart or LSV is the best way to cruise around town. They're quick, efficient, and easy to use. Perhaps even more important is that our golf carts and LSVs are all electric.
As long-time residents, we prefer to keep Charleston and the surrounding area clean and clear of smog. That way, our guests can disconnect and get back to nature without the rumbles and worries of gas-powered carts. After all - smelly, noisy gas carts can detract from the calm ambiance and amazing views that Charleston is known to have.
Unlike gas carts, our electric carts are nearly noiseless and don't need gas to go. Our electric carts are also typically faster than gas options, making electric the faster, eco-friendlier choice when visiting Charleston.
Our golf cart rentals on Charleston, SC are:
- Convenient - Renting a golf cart is quick, easy, and the most convenient way to take in the sights and sounds of the Charleston. Plus, you get direct access to local businesses and beaches without trying to maneuver a car or SUV.
- Local - When you rent a golf cart from Just Beachy, it's much easier to see and experience all there is to do on Charleston. As an added bonus, you'll fit right in with the locals, many of whom will welcome you to the neighborhood.
- Fun - This is the best reason to rent with Just Beachy! Whether you're heading out for a long day at the beach or just need to run to the grocery store, nothing beats the feeling you get on an LSV or golf cart.

Benefits of Renting a Golf Cart or LSV On Charleston
Utilizing a golf cart or LSV to travel around Charleston isn't just fun - it also benefits your trip. Using a golf cart or LSV makes it much easier to access parking. That's especially true in our downtown district, where many parking spaces are metered. When it's time to enjoy one of the many restaurants on Charleston, be sure to use the designated golf cart parking at Ocean Blvd and JC Long Blvd to avoid the hassles, headaches, and costs of traditional parking.
Just Beachy Golf Cart Rentals Pro Tip:
The Dinghy beach pub has a couple of designated golf cart spots within their parking area. If you decide to rent an LSV, you can also take it to Sullivans Island, which makes parking much easier.
When traveling North and South on the Charleston, try to drive on Cameron Blvd and Hartnett Blvd when possible. Both options are less traveled than Palm or Waterway Blvd. and have a speed limit of 25 MPH. Waterway is a great option for traveling North and South, but you may run into more vehicular traffic. South of the Connector, try driving on Carolina Blvd or Ocean Blvd. Regardless of how you utilize them, an LSV or golf cart in Charleston, SC, is super convenient and loads of fun during your stay.

Benefits of Renting a Golf Cart or LSV On Sullivans Island
As is the case with Charleston, choosing to rent a golf cart or LSV during your stay in Sullivans Island comes with many benefits. Like other areas, parking and getting around, in general, is just more manageable with a golf cart instead of a large car or SUV. If you rent a cart or LSV from Just Beachy but you're staying on Sullivans Island, you can bring your rental to the Charleston and enjoy many of the same benefits.
Just Beachy Golf Cart Rentals Pro Tip:
If you plan on exploring the length of Sullivans Island, be sure to use Ion Ave and Atlantic Ave when possible. Both options are less traveled than Middle Street. They also have a speed limit of 25 MPH. Conversely, on Middle Street, the speed limit is 35 MPH. If you travel this road, you'll have to pull over so that faster cars can pass you. This can happen often and can ruin your otherwise enthralling drive. Regardless of how you use them or wear you take them, renting an LSV or golf cart on Sullivans Island is a great choice for everyone involved.

Benefits of Renting a Golf Cart or LSV On Sullivans Island
At Just Beachy Golf Cart Rentals, we want our guests to have the most fun, memorable experience possible when they visit. For that reason, it's important you keep these overall rental guidelines in mind.
- If you're the primary renter of one of our golf carts, you must be 25 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license to operate our carts.
- If any else will be driving a golf cart rental, they must be 21 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license.
- You must uphold and be compliant with all government regulations and laws when using a golf cart rental or LSV rental.
- You cannot have more people on your golf cart rental than the installed and designed seating capacity.
- Alcoholic drinks are not permitted in our LSVs or golf cart rentals. You may not operate any cart while under the influence.
- We only rent carts to single-family homes or townhomes. We do not rent to multi-story condos or hotels. Other locations inside Wild Dunes do not allow cart rentals. Additionally, regular golf cart rentals are not allowed in the Wild Dunes community. This area only permits street-legal LSV rentals.

The Harbor Course
Designed by legendary golf course architect Tom Fazio, The Harbor mixes a challenging design with stunning sights and views. It's also known for its water features and includes salt marshes and lagoons, pushing the limits of your skills.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Opening ceremonies begin Friday for the 47th season of Spoleto Festival USA.
Everything will be in full swing with about 300 artists making up this year’s festivities.
Jenny Ouellette, Associate Director of Media Relations for the Spoleto Festival, says they have more than 100 performances across the 17 days and nights in nine venues over Charleston, and the prep was easier said than done. American Soprano Opera Singer Nicole Heaston will be singing the national anthem, Charleston Jazz Academy students will be playing a piece from South African composer Abdullah Ibrahim, and a performance from the female drummers of Rwanda will all be on display at the opening ceremonies.
“There’s a magic that happens, the festival makes the city alive,” Oullette says, “There are so many people around that are creative here in Charleston pulling out the creativity from every corner and it’s enchanting, there’s magic everywhere.”
Forecasted rain on Friday is forcing this year’s opening ceremony inside. Friday’s noon kickoff will be held at Festival Hall located at 56 Beaufain Street.
Oullette says one of the most special occasions to enjoy is the Spoleto Festival USA Finale on June 11. Although she hates to talk about the end of the festival, she says the finale will be at Firefly Distillery. Charleston local band, ‘Two Slices,’ will open the show at 6:30 pm and the headliner is ‘Tank And The Bangas.’ She says it’s a great evening to pack for a picnic and bring your family on the lawn, listening to music and the night is promised to end with fireworks.
Oullette’s message to first timers that are thinking about attending the festival is to take the risk.
“You might not know if you like it or not and that’s okay,” Oullette says, “We have an amazing new ticket program called, ‘Pay What You Will’ on our website that allows people to see something for a price of their choosing.”
Oullette continues saying tickets then start at $5 to cover ticket fees but there are more than 25 different performances on the list, and she wants people to take advantage of it. She says it’s an opportunity to see something you like while also getting out of your comfort zone and pushing the boundaries of what art can be, what art is and what artists are doing.
You can purchase tickets online or purchase them from Charleston Visitor Center in person in downtown Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Fourth-seeded College of Charleston defeated fifth-seeded Delaware 5-2 in the morning before falling to second-seeded Elon 10-5, ending their run in the 2023 CAA Championships from Patriots Point.
Joseph Mershon finished the day with three hits and 3 RBI scoring twice, Cole Mathis added three hits and 3 RBI and Cam Dean added three hits.
Game one saw Connor Campbell toss 6.1 innings of one earned run baseball before Aidan Hunter finished off the seventh and William Privette earned the six-out save - his 10th of the season.
Charleston pushed across the first run of the day as Mershon led off with a triple to right center and scored one pitch later on a Mathis sacrifice fly. Delaware would tie it in the third on a Josearmando Diaz RBI single.
Mathis added his second RBI of the opener singling home Khyree Miller in the fifth, giving Charleston a 2-1 lead at the time. Delaware would tie it once again in the seventh on an unearned run.
Luke Wood delivered the go-ahead RBI single for a second-straight day in the seventh then two insurance runs came home in the eighth - a wild pitch and fielding error doing the job.
Game two saw quick zeros traded through the first two frames between Aidan Hunter and Justin Mitrovich. Elon cracked the scoreboard first tallying five runs on seven hits in the third - their first of two five-run innings in the contest.
Charleston wouldn’t go away, however, scoring three runs in the fifth jumpstarted by a Joseph Mershon two-run triple (his second of the day) then another Cole Mathis sacrifice fly.
That was the closest Charleston was able to bring it as a second five-run frame by the Phoenix in the seventh gave a 10-3 cushion at the time. The Cougars loaded the bases in the ninth and scored two, but fell 10-5.
Leading Off
Final Score Game 1: Charleston 5, Delaware 2
Final Score Game 2: Elon 10, Charleston 5
Location: Patriots Point
Records: Charleston (36-22), Delaware (30-29), Elon (33-21)
Notes
• Joseph Mershon tripled in each game to finish the season with a team-high five. Those five three-baggers are also a career-high for the senior infielder. Mershon finished the season with 24 extra-base hits - five triples, five home runs and 14 doubles.
• Cole Mathis finished the day with three RBI bringing his total to 51 tying Trotter Harlan for a team lead. Mathis and Harlan became the first duo to drive home 50-plus each since 2015.
• William Privette nailed down his 10th save of the season, his second-straight year with double digit saves. Privette’s latest gives the junior Chapin, S.C. native 22 for his career - fourth-most in program history.

Over 2.5 Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United Football Tips Today | 18th March 2023
Saturday will be the second time the Battery and RGV FC have met. The Texas club won the inaugural match, a 0-3 result at Patriots Point last year. Charleston will look to avenge that match this time around when they head to H-E-B Park.
Charleston (6W-2L-3D, 21 pts) enter this weekend looking to add a second consecutive victory over a Western Conference side. The Black and Yellow bested Monterey Bay FC last week, a 1-0 victory with Arturo Rodriguez scoring the eventual match-winner.
That victory matched the Battery's complete win total from 2022 (6), signaling the impressive turnaround for the club so far in 2023.
Rio Grande Valley (2W-3L-5D, 11 pts) will be looking to bounce back from their latest result, a 0-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies. RGV FC and Tampa Bay were tied until the second half when the Rowdies scored three goals in the final 30 minutes. While RGV FC are in 10th in the conference, they have had three- and four-match unbeaten runs and are not to be overlooked.
Arturo Rodriguez is one to keep an eye on for the Battery. He will be returning to the state he grew up in and has previously tallied one goal and two assists in four career matches against RGV FC.
Taylor Davila is a player to watch on RGV FC. The midfielder is tied for the team lead in chances created (17), goals (two) and assists (one).
Charleston's Fidel Barajas enters the match tied for the league lead in assists (four). Derek Dodson is right behind him with three helpers so far.
RGV FC's Erik Pimentel is the league's red card leader, having received two dismissals already this season.
Battery goalkeeper Trey Muse is tied for the second-most clean sheets in the league (four).
Newly-signed forward Beto Avila will be available for selection for Ben Pirmann in Saturday's fixture, meaning he could debut for the Battery at RGV FC.

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. (May 26, 2023) – Luke Wood’s RBI single in the seventh snapped a 2-2 tie and helped send fourth-seeded Charleston to a 5-2 victory over #5 Delaware in Game 6 of the CAA Baseball Championship on Friday morning at the Ballpark at Patriots Point.
The Cougars (36-21), who avenged a loss to the Blue Hens in the opening game of the tournament, will be back in action at 12:30 p.m. in another elimination game against #2 Elon. Delaware (30-29) was knocked out of the tournament after the loss.
Cole Mathis went 2-for-3 and drove in two to lead Charleston offensively, while Joseph Mershon and Cam Dean also had a pair of hits. For Delaware, Josearmando Diaz was 2-for-3 with a RBI.
Aidan Hunter (4-2) picked up the win for the Cougars in relief of starter Connor Campbell, who held Delaware to two runs (one earned) over 6.1 innings. William Privette blanked the Blue Hens over the final 2.0 frames to record his 10th save.
After Delaware had rallied to tie the game at 2-2 in the top of the seventh, Charleston responded in the bottom half. Mathis walked and moved into scoring position after Trotter Harlan beat out a bunt. With two outs, Wood came through with a base hit to right that plated Mathis and put the Cougars ahead to stay.
The Cougars tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the eighth. JT Marr lined a double down the right-field line and came home on a wild pitch. Khyree Miller later scored on a Delaware fielding error.
Charleston wasted little time in taking a 1-0 lead. Mershon opened the bottom of the first with a leadoff triple to the gap in right-center and came home on a Mathis sacrifice fly.
Unable to score after getting a runner to third base in the first two innings, Delaware broke through in the third. Dan Covino drew a one-out walk and Joey Loynd followed with a base hit. With two down, Diaz delivered a game-tying RBI single up the middle.
Charleston moved back on top in the fifth. Miller and Mershon started the frame with back-to-back singles and a third from Mathis put the Cougars ahead 2-1. Harlan’s walk loaded the bases with nobody out, but the Blue Hens escaped further damage with a rare 5-2-3 double play and a flyout.
Delaware tied the contest at 2-2 in the top of the seventh. Eric Ludman walked, advanced to second on Dan Covino’s base hit and came around to score following a Cougars’ fielding error.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- Is expected rain putting a damper on your planned trip to Charleston? Don’t fret! While you might have to cancel your trip to the beach or reschedule an outdoor activity, there’s still plenty to do in Charleston on stormy days.
Here are 7 indoor attractions you can visit while dodging showers in the Holy City:
Get a glimpse into the nature and wildlife that inhabits the land and sea around Charleston with a visit to the South Carolina Aquarium. With thousands of animals and dozens of exhibits, visitors can explore each region of the state from the mountains of the Upstate down to the Lowcountry. There are interactive elements that both children and adults will love including dive shows and a touch tank.
You can also go behind the scenes with a visit to the Sea Turtle Care Center where aquarium staff rehabilitate sick and injured sea turtles.
Location: 100 Aquarium Wharf Plan a visit.
Looking for stimulating activities for your children that will help them burn off some extra energy while staying dry? The Children’s Museum is the place to go! Kids can make their way through various exhibits including an art room, a pirate ship, a tot-sized grocery store, and more.
Location: 25 Ann Street Plan a visit.
Take a stroll through the Charleston City Market in the heart of downtown Charleston to see, taste, and smell all that the city has to offer. Here you’ll find dozens of vendors selling products like praline pecans, handmade accessories, homemade lotions and soaps, and sweetgrass baskets – the options are endless.
While much of the market is enclosed, you still may have to avoid a stray shower or two while moving between sections.
Location: 188 Meeting StreetPlan a visit.
The Charleston Museum — known as America’s first museum — was originally founded in 1773 to preview South Carolina’s natural history but later evolved into the more cosmopolitan feel it has today while including objects and exhibits from around the world. Still, it offers an up-close look at the natural and cultural history pertaining to South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
Location: 360 Meeting StreetPlan a visit.
Perhaps one of Charleston’s most recognizable buildings, the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon — built in 1771 — has borne witness to some of the most important moments in Charleston’s history. It hosted George Washington during his tour of the South and slave auctions were held on its steps.
Visitors can also get a guided tour of the bottom floor which was converted by the British into a dungeon during the Revolutionary War. Visitors have reported encounters with unsettled spirits marked by rumors of disembodied screams and the sounds of moving shackles. Some have even reported seeing “staff members” dressed in Revolutionary-era garb, only to disappear as guests get closer.
Location: 122 E Bay StreetPlan a visit.
Home of the USS Yorktown, the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant features two Navy vessels, more than two dozen historic aircraft, an immersive 2.5-acre experience that tells the story of the Vietnam War, and the Medal of Honor Museum.
Nearly the entire museum is protected from the rain, except for the top deck of the USS Yorktown.
Location: 40 Patriots Point RoadPlan a visit.
If you want to hit all of the popular tourist spots in Charleston without having to walk the streets yourself, consider hopping on an air-conditioned bus tour. While there are several companies to choose from, each offers a guided sightseeing tour of the city, passing by landmarks including Rainbow Row, historic mansions, churches, cemeteries, gardens, and more.
Some companies also offer bus rides to and from historic plantations like Boone Hall, Middleton Plantation, and Magnolia Plantation for an up-close and personal look at the Antebellum South.
If all else fails, Charleston is home to a plethora of restaurants and bars where you can seek refuge.
