South Carolina has something to suit every personality. Visitors can enjoy
the serenity of historic Conway, a leisurely stroll along the river front
in the seaport town of Georgetown or the glitz and glamour of big name
entertainment, shopping and dinning in Myrtle Beach.
Choose to spend sunny days
along the 60 mile stretch of clean and safe public beaches. Beach
walkers enjoy the moderate climate year-round. Water sports enthusiasts
find comfortable temperatures during many months. Anglers find a great
variety of sport fishing from eight piers, or on charter boats during most
of the year.
Find your fill of championship golf on 100+ courses.
Shop till you drop among the hundreds of factory stores, beach shops and
trendy boutiques.
The Grand Strand boasts every
type of cuisine ranging from the freshest of seafood to the Lowcountry
recipes from the Southern plantation days.
As you move south down the
Grand Strand you will find the historic seaport town of Georgetown. A recent
revitalization in the historic downtown area of Georgetown has produced
a wonderful river front harbourwalk, and a downtown shopping area filled
with fabulous shopping in the many quaint specialty shops, antique stores
,bookstores and art galleries.
Georgetown's historic
district with its 60+ National Historic Register sites can be experienced
by motor tram or by a personally guided walking tour. Many homes in Georgetown's
historic district date back to the early 1700s making it the third oldest
city in South Carolina. For the more adventuresome there are several boat
excursions leaving from the harbor area; you can experience a sailing adventure
on a tall sailing ship , explore historic rice plantations, or see the
Georgetown Lighthouse and explore for shells on a secluded beach.
A visit to the Grand Strand
wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Hammock shops and quiet beach
of Pawleys Island, or the nationally acclaimed Brookgreen Gardens. |
