Straddle UP And Enjoy The South Carolina Landscape On Horseback

By James Harden


If you visit during the non peak period months between October and May, it's quite certain to grab one or two excellent offers on beach rental accommodation while exploring beaches across South Carolina. These stunning, white sandy strands (of which many have acquired a "Blue Wave" certification for spotlessness and environmental health by the Clean Beaches Council) boast convenient access to ultimate saltwater fishing, panoramic views of the mid-Atlantic plus several recreational activities which include snorkeling and scuba diving and surfing. South Carolina vacation rentals are also convenient to several land based sports which include professional golf courses, tennis, horseback riding and a large number of educational, entertaining and dining options.

South Carolina comprises three principle regions laced with white, sandy beaches, that span the full 200-plus mile length of the Palmetto State's coastline. If you venture south out of Virginia, you will first come to the area referred to as the Grand Strand. The heart of this northernmost coastal region is the town of Myrtle Beach, approximately an hour distance from monumental Charleston. Expanding from Little River to Georgetown, this expanse of seashore boasts fully appointed four-star luxurious hotel resorts, South Carolina rental homes among other places to stay. You'll find that Myrtle Beach town is one of the top travel spots in the area, with countless attractive little shops, art galleries, live drama acts and of course, reputed seafood dining establishments.

Head to Charlestown if you're seeking an educational and cultural experience. Offering the right South Carolina bed and breakfasts situated in picturesque antebellum residences on tree-dotted roads, Charleston is the core of the South Carolina coast region, and the gateway for ferries that sail to the various Barrier Islands. Intimate cabin rentals on the Isle of Palms and other nearby islands are the ideal setting for the ultimate romantic getaways while staying in cozy romantic travel inns.

Resting more towards south, near the Georgia state line, the Low Country feels like a world apart. Numerous late 19th Century lighthouses are situated in this southern area, coupled with primordial wetlands and salt marshes. Explore this region from horseback or off-road bicycle and enjoy more than 125 different kinds of wild birds that live in this ecosystem at least part of the year.

For the night scene, check out Hilton Head, which houses several four-star seafood restaurants and also home to a yearly wine and food festival in February. Since this is the non peak season for tourists, residents are far more inclined to slash their rates on rental options.

Golf enthusiasts should be delighted to discover that South Carolina's beaches region is regarded as the best location for golf across the United States. Once you begin to tire from beach combing or are searching for an activity to do on days away from the beach, a range of great championship golf courses await you. These are just a few things that you should find on a South Carolina vacation holiday.
