Visiting South Carolina Coast

The coastal cities and beachfront towns of South Carolina’s coast are a premier destination for spring and summer travelers. It could be the history and charm of Walterboro, to the music and golf in Myrtle Beach, or the thrill of catching a foul ball at a baseball game in Charleston – it’s happening along the coast. In Charleston, before the baseball game, check out Bluegrass on the Waccamaw, a music festial held on the second Saturday in May. Along the way, check out the John Mark Verdier House Museum in Beaufort.

Easily accessed from I-26, and just inland of the Charleston Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, Charleston is a charming city, and home of the South Carolina Aquarium. Take a relaxing walk around Historic Charleston, or tour Fort Sumter National Monument. In April, plan for an exciting afternoon of Minor League baseball, and watch the Charleston RiverDogs play at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. Scheduled for late April is the 5th Annual Charleston Green Fair – head to John’s Island and partake in live music, locally grown food cooked by some of the area’s top chefs. Be sure to plan for the always tasty Charleston Brewvival. Set for February 25, the Charleston Brewvival is a great way to experience local craft beers, and will be held at the field next to the Coast Brewery.

North along the coast is Myrtle Beach. Set in the center of the Grand Stand, a large stretch of beach, Myrtle Beach is home to Ripley’s Aquarium, and Myrtle Beach State Park. Take full advantage of the spring and summer weather with a round of golf at Arcadian Shores Golf Club, or the Azalea Sands Golf Club. Late February brings Dick’s Last Resort’s Annual Mardi Gras Parade. Scheduled to run from late January into late April, don’t miss the Brookgreen Gardens' “Birds in Art” Exhibition, free with admission into Brookgreen Gardens. February brings with it the Winter Parrot Head Festival at La Belle Amie Vineyard – set for February 28, get ready for plenty of Jimmy Buffett music.

To the west of Myrtle Beach, and set further inland from the coast, Walterboro is found. A fine little city, Walterboro is the seat of Colleton County, and home to the Tuskegee Airman Monument. The chill of winter fades, and the warmth of spring and summer enters – take advantage with a stroll around Colleton State Park. Experience a bit of local history and lore with a visit to the Slave Relic Museum. Continue that thought with a visit to the Colleton County Museum and Old Jail, or the Bedon-Lucas House Museum. Sneak in nine holes before lunch at Dogwood Hills Golf Club, one of the finest executive courses in the area.
