South Carolina<\/h2>\n

An original colony, South Carolina has a long and storied history. A state with an average size and population, South Carolina has become a travel hot spot due to its location, weather and people.<\/p>\n

Within one day driving distance of a large portion of the Northeast United States, South Carolina is known for its large beaches, family friendly atmosphere and affordable accommodations. Here at My Carolina Lifestyle, we have a few transplants who now call South Carolina home – but much of the states population is not native to the state.<\/p>\n

South Carolina has many areas that vacationers love – we\u2019ve highlighted some of our favorites below.<\/p>\n

Charleston<\/h3>\n

\"charleston-in-fall\"<\/p>\n

The oldest city in South Carolina, Charleston is known for its historical buildings, dining, attractions and Charleston natives. The city is known for hosting concerts, weekly events and other attention grabbing fun things to do.<\/p>\n

While not usually traveled to for the beach, Charleston does border Folly Beach, a locals favorite spot for catching a few fish and relaxing. Charleston is a great place to kick back and enjoy the history of South Carolina – with tons of museums, horse and carriage rides and walking tours, it\u2019s a fun place for historical buffs to visit.<\/p>\n

Myrtle Beach & North Myrtle Beach<\/h3>\n

\"myrtle-beachside\"<\/p>\n

The most popular vacation destination in the entire Carolina coastline, Myrtle Beach is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, laid back people and tons of attractions. With over 50 miles of beaches along the Grand Strand, it offers something for everyone. From golf courses, hundreds of restaurants, tourist attractions, beach access, live entertainment, nightlife and more, Myrtle Beach is the place to go if you want it all.<\/p>\n

Hilton Head Island<\/h3>\n

\"hilton-head-island-boats\"<\/p>\n

A bit further down the coast, Hilton Head offers something unique to the travel destination list. With a small footprint than Myrtle Beach, it doesn\u2019t offer all of the bright lights and nightlife, but replaces it with family-friendly things to do and a subtle homage to classic Carolina city planning.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find large neon lights and buildings here – just subdued signs and low hanging trees over the streets. Featured in dozens of publications for a top destination to travel, Hilton Head is simply exemplary.<\/p>\n

Pawleys Island & Surfside Beach<\/h3>\n

\"pawleys-island-trees\"<\/p>\n

Crabbing, fishing, boating and relaxation are the keys to fitting in at Pawleys Island. Much closer to Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island offers a more laid back experience where you can sit back and enjoy the calm and peaceful low country lifestyle. A favorite for those looking to getaway from the lights and nightlife of Myrtle Beach and prefer a more authentic vacation – Pawleys Island is the perfect spot to stay for a while.<\/p>\n
