South Carolina

If you’re thinking that a South Carolina vacation would do you a world of good, you’d be right. Here’s why. South Carolina is not just one of the original American Colonies with a rich history and culture shaped by European, African and Caribbean influences. It’s not just sunny beaches, crystal lakes, historic towns, and scenic mountains. It’s not just a “place.” It’s an adventure.

South Carolina has long been the vacation destination for millions of people. No location is more popular than the Grand Strand. Stretching for more than 60 miles along the Atlantic Coast, this string of beach resorts includes such ocean-side communities as Myrtle Beach, considered the Strand's hub, Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach, Surfside, Litchfield, Pawleys Island, and Georgetown. Each year vacationers are drawn to the Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach for swimming, sunning, boating, shelling and golfing on many of the 100 golf courses located in these areas.

Inland, South Carolina gives way to scenic rivers and beautiful lakes. This South Carolina Lakes and Blackwater Rivers area make the Palmetto State a premier water sports and world-class hunting and fishing destination. In charming Old South towns throughout the region you'll encounter the rich history and culture of America's past.

Exceptional history, arts, culture, hotels, restaurants, shops and family attractions make South Carolina cities and historic towns an unrivaled Southern USA vacation destination.

But the small towns deliver the full South Carolina experience. Unrivaled in their beauty, unparalleled in charm and hospitality, South Carolina's historic small towns and scenic back roads create a Southern USA road tour vacation beyond compare.
