The driver will text the guest to establish communication and identify themselves and their vehicle. Once the guest retrieves their bags, they will walk out of the nearest exit in baggage claim and cross the street. This is about a 50-foot walk. The driver will be waiting in the lane closest to the parking garage and to the left of the crosswalk (red circle below). The driver will also typically have a sign with their name or group logo on it. |
Things to Do
In as few as 35 minutes after you touchdown, your toes can be touching the cool sands that border The Wild Dunes Resort. * As you cross the Connector Bridge onto the barrier island, the smell of the salt marsh, the sounds of the IntraCoastal Waterway and the sight of the ocean can put your senses into overdrive. But the speed is entirely up to you! There is plenty of recreation and relaxation at Wild Dunes Resort. Bring your swim suit and head for the beach or bring your golf clubs or tennis racquet and spend the afternoon outdoors playing your sport of choice. If fun in the sun is not quite your speed, you can head to the Sand and Sea Salon for Spa Services. Places to Go **Complimentary Shuttle Service to downtown provided** If you're into history then downtown Charleston is a short trip (20 minutes) away. Steeples dot the skyline while Church bells still toll the hours! You can shop in the historic great public market for the native sweet grass baskets, look for bargain antiques, or quietly stroll tree shaded streets. History? It's around the corner. Charleston is also known as one of the friendliest cities in the nation with some of the best restaurants! But plan ahead and make reservations so you're sure to get a table. |
