What to do and see in South Carolina, United States: The Best Neighborhoods

September 25, 2021 Russell Mellin

South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

The Point

Reviewed By ephyfe - Wilmington, United States

This neighborhood is really wonderful if you like the southern antebellum architecture. You have classic stately mansions, smaller brightly painted homes, big live oaks with Spanish moss, cicadae and cabbage palms. This is where Hollywood comes to film when they need southern mansions. It’s really a great area to drive through. I wouldn’t even mind walking through but I’d worry people might say something if I’m walking around in front of their house. There didn’t appear to be many people driving around looking at the homes. I was out there driving around and taking pictures (see my pics of some of the homes). This is just one area where there are beautiful old homes. On the other side of Bay Street is another area that seems to have even bigger homes. Buy a good book and a map before you go to find all the antebellum houses.

We had a rental for a few days in this location and it was perfect. Lots of restaurant choices and coffee shops. The best part was the wonderful park with all the paths to walk and beautiful landscaping.

The most fun I had was simply walking the historic neighborhoods on a gorgeous spring day where everything was in bloom. The historic homes are amazing and each turn is a new site.
