South Carolina is a state that offers miles of sandy coastline, thick woodlands, and several must-see towns. Myrtle Beach offers quaint cottages, exclusive resorts, affordable inns, and beach houses of all sizes. The Myrtle Beach strip is full of restaurants, bars, and stores for all tastes and price ranges. Its promenade is fun for the whole family with sidewalk shops, funnel cake vendors, arcades, a towering Ferris wheel, and a variety of amusement park rides. Here calabash style seafood reigns supreme, from fried shrimp, flounder, and clam strips, to oysters by the bucket that you can shuck yourself or have served raw or Rockefeller. Try these with a side of coleslaw, hush puppies, a brimming bowl of she-crab soup, and a glass of sweet iced tea and you have one tasty dish, all served with that famous Southern charm. Southern barbecue, which is famous throughout the Carolinas, is also a local favorite, particularly when served with a side of green beans and Brunswick stew. Yum! The coast of South Carolina is also dotted by barrier islands, some inhabited, some not, some luxurious, some rustic. To get there, visitors can charter a boat from the mainland, those feeling more adventurous can paddle out on a sea kayak and camp for the night. Either way you’re in for a treat. Speaking of boats, many visitors charter a deep sea fishing boat to take them to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, where fish are aplenty. The beautifully preserved, stately port town of Charleston is another hot spot. A former military stronghold of the South, Charleston offers a rich history wher e visitors can still see the huge forts and cannons that guarded its shores at The Battery and battlefields made famous by both the Civil and Revolutionary Wars.
