In the southern coastal region of South Carolina, you will discover a
beautiful sweep of nature filled with Lowcountry charm and hospitality. From
cool sea islands and the vast expanse of salt-marsh grasses to dense pine
forests, the ever changing scenery frames a wide range of leisure
opportunities. The area's rich history is traced in old rice plantations and
lovingly restored antebellum homes, while quiet trails and wildlife preserves
provide views of nature's abundance.
Today in the South Carolina Lowcountry, visitors experience a world of flavor
and activities. Stroll along the beautiful waterfront park in Historic
Beaufort, play at one of the many community festivals held throughout the
year, or bask in the warmth of clean coastal sands at Edisto Beach or Hunting
Island State Park. Attend such renowned tournaments as the Family Circle
Tennis Cup or the MCI Heritage Golf Classic before you try your skill on the
many courts and courses of the pros. Rough it in style at Colleton State Park,
or pamper yourself in the luxurious accommodations of Fripp Island, Edisto
Beach or the internationally famous resort, Hilton Head Island. Shoot
sporting clays, fish for largemouth bass, canoe or kayak the beautiful
blackwater rivers, or troll offshore for a saltwater trophy. Then settle back
and savor the blue crab, shrimp and oysters gathered fresh from the bountiful
waterways and prepared to perfection at one of the many fine seafood
restaurants.
From international playgrounds to scenic wilderness, the Lowcountry specks a
language of recreation and hospitality you are sure to understand. Whether
you prefer golf, tennis, swimming, boating, fishing, shooting, hunting,
camping, dining, shopping for unique gifts or factory outlet bargains, seeing
sights, touring historic landmarks, or (whew!)... just getting away to a warm
and friendly climate, your imagination is the only passport you will need to
discover that which the South has always cherished: The Lowcountry... The
living is as gentle as the tides, and visitors are always welcome.
