South Carolina Travel Guide

Discover the South

By the editors of Kaboose.com, with Margaret Soria

South Carolina is a state full of adventure, exploration, and fun. Here you can take a stroll through America’s oldest landscaped garden, play at one of more than 330 gold courses, scour beaches for seashells, or kayak through marshlands. Mom and dad will be intrigued by the historical culture, art, and folklore, while the children will love the sweet treats of the south.

It's something everyone dreams of for their family. A cozy cabin tucked away in the deep forest, far away from the pressures of everyday life. A home away from home with all the modern amenities situated in that perfect spot. It's "Vacation Central," a base of operations that allows your family to get out and explore while still having a peaceful and comfortable place to refresh and regroup for the next day's adventures. It is with this concept in mind that the cabins at South Carolina's state parks and mountains are maintained and operated.

More than 80,000 acres - from the edges of the Blue Ridge and the shores of cool Midlands lakes, to tidal creeks and sand dunes of the Atlantic - protect and preserve some of South Carolina's most fascinating natural and cultural resources

Some visitors come to South Carolina for the lazy days spent in the sun, along the coast. If you want a secluded island retreat, a resort getaway, or a fun-filled vacation, South Carolina has it all.

If you are looking for museums, galleries, theaters, or cultural events, South Carolina promises to entertain. Don’t forget to visit the Newberry Opera House or outdoor theaters of the foothills.

From whitewater rafting and sea kayaking to hiking and birding, this state has it all. Nature lovers can explore the land by backpacking, hiking, boating, camping, kayaking, birding, cycling, fishing, hunting, wildlife watching, horseback riding, and visiting environmental centers and agricultural attractions.
