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.

Foothills Trail

Scenic Appalachian hiking trail.

Reviewed By 256richarda256

This trail is awesome . Thru hiked with a buddy and my dog. Did the 5 day plan. Absolutely beautiful with all the waterfalls. But you earn the views. As hard as our Colorado hike minus elevation. Be prepared. Dont take it for granted. The shuttle service ( Taz) is the best. Went from Oconne to Table Rock

Hilton Head Island Bike Trails

Reviewed By JoniSBrown - Charlotte, United States

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.

Cottonwood Trail

Reviewed By X3642JBjamesl - Spartanburg, United States

I found this trail in 1978. My first apartment was through the woods...a forgotten and now long gone place called Crystal Springs. I was a college freshman living on peanuts( if I was lucky). A friend told me about Cottonwood and it was easy to find, as it abuts the high school fields, by the river. From the wacky days of youth, into the days of fatherhood...this trail is a staple of freedom, exercise, nature loving and tranquility my babies are growing into men knowing and loving. The long blond hair is short and mostly gray now, but the trail beckons my name. The mountain bike zips through and serenity overcomes the real world burdens...if only briefly. I walk this lady in weather cold and hot, and every climate in between, and always leave a better man. Pack a backpack with picnic supplies and walk this amazing trail from end to end and back again. It’s never the same twice. Make memories like my children and I did, and still do. You cannot find a better walking trail in this county. I often feel like I should pay for an attraction like this...it’s that good. The heck with 5 stars...this place gets 50 stars.

Cayce Riverwalk

Reviewed By michaeleU1434HH

This was like a walk in the Twilight Zone. Civil War trenches, Revolutionary War sights; alligators, Indian lore, etc. Expected a wooley mammoth to emerge at any time out of the dank forest. Good trails to follow, benches to rest, and occasional map to re-orient yourself. It was a hot walk though. Make certain you have the proper footwear and plenty of water.
