The 10 Best Things to do in Coastal South Carolina, Coastal South Carolina
Miles of white sand and romantic island resorts beckon from the hem of the Palmetto State. Families gravitate to Myrtle Beach and the 60-mile span of Grand Strand, where over 100 championship golf courses, tennis courts and nightclubs await. Charlestons hundreds of heritage buildings, and irresistible charm, are part of its allure. Beach resorts at Kiawah Island, Seabrook and Edisto Island make for romantic getaways.

My favorite thing to do in Sea Pines, where is do vacation rentals, is to ride bikes, walk or run the trail system. They are well maintained, well marked and long enough to satisfy any level of exercise ability. A great way to spend time with friends and family.

Charleston is quite a charming city. The older part of town towards the battery is sort of like the best of Philadelphia's Independence neighborhood and the French Quarter in New Orleans, except clean and safe. This is a great place to walk and see beautiful antebellum houses as well as Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter.

This was a great place for all ages! My husband and I went with three children (12,10 and 2) and my parents. We all had a blast. The kids loved watching them feed the alligators and seeing all the different animals. We will definitely be going back! And an added bonus they had VERY CLEAN restrooms! Great experience!

Went right for the cow milking and was the only person there...the cow obliged and it was fun. The area around the barn is really interesting with a cooper who was very informative along with a potter, some stable hands who hitched up water buffalo using voice commands, displays on rice, etc...we loved that area. The slave house had interesting displays and most all over were really well done and mercifully the hand outs at the Ticketing office showed right where to find them. Loved the whole place and spent a good 3 hours before enjoying a delicious lunch at the restaurant then had a talk by a lovely fellow about slavery that ended with him singing in the chapel...he was amazing as well.
6. Broadway at the Beach

Broadway at the Beach, South Carolina's favorite Travel Destination and the largest entertainment venue of its kind in the state features unique specialty shops, exceptional dining, award-winning attractions, fabulous nightlife and relaxing accommodations, all surrounding the magnificent Lake Broadway.
Reviewed By U2055JJjamesb - Raleigh, United States
Broadway at the Beach is a very large shopping and entertainment complex with dozens of choices surrounding several small lakes where you can even feed the fish. Much of the complex is set up for families with kids so be sure to bring a stroller if needed as the whole circular route is about a 1.5 mile loop, but there are bridges and decks crossing the lakes at midpoint so if a shorter walk is desired that's no probkem.

When guests come to town sometimes we just get in the car and drive across the bridge, turn around, and drive back across it. Architecturally stunning, you can view the city, the three rivers that surround it, and the marshes at low tide. And if you have an adventurous spirit you can use the pedestrian walkway to walk, jog or ride your bike from one side to the other.

Create unforgettable memories while enjoying 60-miles of wide, soft sandy beach. Be sure to bring your beach towels, a sheet and/or beach chairs before you get here so you don't have to rent them. Wake up early in the morning, run along the ocean shore and take in the fresh air. It's good for your body, mind and soul! Want to sleep in? Grab a chair, sit down, let your toes sink into the soft sand and just relax in the afternoon while listening to waves rolling in.
