Understand

South Carolina, together with North Carolina forms a region historically known as Carolina.

North Carolina's next-door neighbor has many interesting historic sites.

South Carolina, like its fellow Carolina, is very hot in the summer, and its nice coastal areas are a big tourist attraction.

South Carolina has a few mountains, but it is mostly flatland. Several lakes, ponds, rivers and streams dot and line the landscape.

Talk

English is official.

Gullah is spoken on the Sea Islands.

Get in

South Carolina is served by four interstate highways.

Interstate 85 traverses the northwest corner of the state, near Anderson, and connects Greenville and Spartanburg with Charlotte, North Carolina.

Interstate 26 stretches southeast across the state, from Landrum to its terminus in Charleston. Interstate 26 intersects with Interstate 85 near Spartanburg, Interstate 20 near Columbia and Interstate 95 near Orangeburg.

Get around

The roads in South Carolina (like most places in America) are in good condition for travel.

Do

Along the Eastern Atlantic Coast of South Carolina are several popular tourist destinations.

The most well known area is called The Grand Strand and comprises 60 miles of mostly beachfront property. The Strand runs south from the North and South Carolina border through the towns of Little River, Atlantic Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Garden City (in Horry County), down Hwy. 17 south through Georgetown County including Murrells Inlet, Litchfield, and Pawleys Island.

Little River is known for its beautiful inlet, great for fishing and water sports. Myrtle Beach's claim to fame is not only its beaches, but its nickname as "Golf Capital of the World". Murrells Inlet offers some of the freshest seafood around. Pawleys Island offers historic plantation sites as well as great golf.

Eat

Fat Jacks Burgers on Isle of Palms has some of the best fast food in the Low Country.

Drink

Sweet tea is very popular and readily available, as is elsewhere in the South.
