South Carolina: home of seafood, sun and serenity. Lakes, rivers and beaches leave you plenty of options for outdoor fun—from swimming and sailing to sunset cruises and fishing, recreation is key. You may find yourself spending most of your visit along the 60-mile coastal stretch known as the Grand Strand: Myrtle Beach, Pawley’s Island and Ocean Drive all are included here. South Carolina might be best known for Myrtle Beach, where Hard Rock Park and warm beaches await; Pawley’s Island is worth a look if you need a truly relaxing getaway from the crowds and a chance to enjoy simple activities like crabbing and golfing.

Check out the history in Charleston. Or indulge at Hilton Head Island, where golf courses and tennis courts harmoniously blend with miles of beaches. As if mountains and islands aren’t enough to take in, waterfalls can be found throughout the state, which boasts the highest falls in the eastern United States.
