South Carolina
South Carolina is a state that I should have explored every corner of since I lived there for several years during my time in the military. Unfortunately back then I was too closed minded to explore my own country and I suppose even if I wasn’t the restrictions and long hours I put in with the Marines gave little opportunity to do much adventures. I have returned twice as a tourist which gave me a whole new appreciation and experience but also some more regret I did not do more in the past. To me, South Carolina has always been about historic cities, beautiful subtropical beaches with palm trees, and southern hospitality.

One of the biggest destinations in America, Myrtle Beach draws in over 14 million tourists a year who come to visit the city’s 60 miles of subtropical beaches. Many other beaches in the Carolinas or in Georgia are focused on family friendly environments, while Myrtle beach has all types of atmospheres for both families and the younger crowd who are looking to party.

South Carolina’s coast is full of wetlands, beaches and small towns. Historic places like Georgetown and Beaufort are just two of the dozens of places to visit. Bed & Breakfasts along with warm subtropical weather make these a great escape.
