Nestled between Charleston and Savannah, the South Carolina Lowcountry is steeped in rich history, lush natural landscapes, Gullah culture, and oh-so-Southern charm and hospitality. This makes 100 Things to Do in the South Carolina Lowcountry Before You Die the perfect travel companion for a visit to this popular destination. For outdoors lovers, explore Hilton Head Island's miles of beaches, bike the rails-to-trails Spanish Moss Trail, kayak the meandering waterways and salt marshes with one of the Lowcountry's outdoors outfitters, and climb to the top of a lighthouse or stay overnight in a Civilian Conservation Corps-built cabin in one of South Carolina's state parks. Immerse yourself in the Reconstruction era and Gullah culture of the region at St. Helena Island's Penn Center, Beaufort's Reconstruction Era National Historical Park, or on a trip out to Daufuskie Island. Learn all about the region's literary legend at the Pat Conroy Literary Center. And take a bite out of the region at Lowcountry Produce, Harold's Country Club, and many other tasty restaurants. Whether they're offering classic Lowcountry adventures or off-the-beaten-path experiences, a deep dive into the culture of this historically rich area, or trendy things to see, do, eat, and buy, the Seldons have the local knowledge to reveal this burgeoning coastal tourism gem.
