South Carolina Vacations

Overview

The Atlantic air, crisp and salty wafts along uninhabited beaches of the Southern Grand Stand, while down the coast, rollicking, family-friendly, fried food fun throbs in Myrtle Beach and in the relaxed and elegant port cities of Georgetown, Beaufort and Charleston, American’s past comes to life: South Carolina is set to enthrall.

Pink azaleas explode on street corners and Spanish moss hangs like silvery wedding veils strewn over the bows of ancient live oaks in this lush, rather magical part of America where ordering a coffee is somehow enchanting with that lovely drawl the South Carolinians are graced with. Ferris wheels, theme parks, live music and fresh seafood along the 60-mile strip of bright sand which is the Grand Stand awaits. Myrtle Beach glitters the brightest and is the most developed and the most action-packed of the area with activities to entertain all ages. Hilton Head is a golfer's paradise and to escape the crowds, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island and Georgetown offer a chill vibe, no shoes required.

Margaret Michell’s timeless character, Rhett Butler in the Civil War fiction, “Gone with the Wind” to Southern belle, Scarlett O’Hara: “I’m going back to Charleston, where there is still a little grace and civility left in the world.” You will relate once you’ve experienced the charm and poise of historic Charleston. Founded in 1670, the bells of 180 churches, the horseshoes clopping on the ages-old pavement, the abundant gardens spilling out from 2,000 historic homes and the sophisticated cuisine from endless restaurants, make this town of gentile style your next favourite destination.
