What to do and see in Santee, South Carolina (SC): The Best Things to do
Santee is a town in Orangeburg County along the Santee River Valley in central South Carolina, United States. It has become a resort town of note located centrally north-south along the Atlantic Seaboard of South Carolina. The region has been rural, with a primarily agricultural economy typical of Orangeburg County, but is now known primarily for its several golf courses in proximity to Lake Marion, Santee State Park and other Lake Marion attractions. Interstate 95 connects its attractions easily with tourists traveling by automobile. I-95 crosses a narrow arm of the lake into the town lands, along a causeway. Lake Marion is a man-made hydroelectric reservoir, which at 110,000 acres (450 km2, 173 sq mi) is one of the fifty largest lakes in the country.

Although this is a fishing Mecca, my grandchildren did not catch any. Sites are large, we’ll equipped store, friendly staff and great views of Lake Marion. Great sunrise and sunset. Golf course close by. During COVID we felt very safe. Hubby said bathroom was very clean and he could smell the bleach. We will return.

So many fun things - especially since we have that last name! We bought bunches of jam and bbq sauce and all were delicious. Wondering how to mail order some more bbq sauce - it's a long trip for us to return. Advice on how to get more is welcome!
