Default Riding to FLA with a side trip to Charleston SC

We are heading down from New Hampshire and have a extra day to ride. Looking for a side trip off of 95 down through Charlseton, SC. I have heard there is some good riding and thought we might like to see the old sections of the city.
Kind of a ride through, then stay back close to 95 for the night.
Anything will be helpful.
Carl

Charleston is a personal fave to see from a bike.
Some locals should chime in here but-
Be sure you go over the new bridge -
If you like American history don't miss the battery area / Fort Sumter.
Google search will have a lot of info.
When you get off I95 you will see "Harleyville" - good photo op for folks back home if you are so inclined.

Safe trip.
Pat

Im thinking of taking 501 down from the state line to 17. Any thoughts, is there a shorter way? Looking for a nice back road type ride

501 /17 isn't to bad....
quick side trip on the USS Yorktown..
Downtown area "old Southern Charm Historic district"
Continue S on 17 to 21, thru Beaufort and take 170 into Savannah.
Or go straight over to 95 again to exit 33, plenty of signs
Savannah and Charleston have an un-written fight who has the "best" Historic district"
Charleston is quit larger but both are good
