South Carolina is known for its beaches, sea islands, historic plantation houses and the treasured city of Charleston with its paste coloured stately homes.

Charleston is America’s most beautifully preserved architectural and historic treasure, with a rich 300 year heritage. The first decisive American victory during the Revolution, the first regularly scheduled passenger train service in America, the initial shots of the Civil War — Charleston is steeped in history. Step back in time and stroll the cobblestone streets of the historic district. Visit the plantation homes, tour the war related sites like Ft. Sumter or experience the magnificent South Carolina Aquarium.

To the south of Charleston, Hilton Head’s 42 square miles are lapped by gentle waters of the Atlantic Ocean, edged with breathtaking broad sandy beaches. On this idyllic island cycle, shop, golf, play tennis, go dolphin watching and plunge into the multitude of water sports on offer.

Off the coast of Hilton Head, Beaufort is a charming town which together with its surrounding sea islands has rich history including African–American heritage.

Sixty miles of wide, soft sandy beaches, thrilling water sports, amusement parks, live entertainment and exciting nightlife, shopping and world–class golf — Myrtle Beach “offers everything for everyone”! With the highest concentration of attractions outside Orlando, the area is an ideal family vacation destination.
