Walk along the Battery, take a carriage ride, visit Fort Sumter, or tour Boone Hall Plantation. If you’re feeling more 20th Century, you can visit the state’s newest aquarium (overlooking Charleston Harbor and its famous bridges) or tour Patriot’s Point Marine Museum, where the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the destroyer USS Laffey, the cold-war submarine USS Clamagore and the Coast Guard Cutter Ingham are moored.

Only 25 miles to our north is Myrtle Beach. There you will find entertainment geared toward families at The Pavilion Amusement Park,
NASCAR Speed Park, Myrtle Waves Water Park, two dinner show theaters (Medieval Times & Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede), and the IMAX
Discovery Theater, as well as outstanding “after dark” entertainment at the Celebrity Square nightclubs at Broadway at the Beach, the
House of Blues, or any of the dozens of clubs along the “Pawleys Island” which regularly have top-quality live music.

Pawleys Island, located in Georgetown
County, is an Atlantic coast barrier island of South Carolina.

From bustling cities that are filled with amusement parks and nightlife, to quiet coastal towns where the only constant sound is a sea breeze, there’s a lot to love about the Grand Strand.

On a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing more refreshing than taking a dip in the beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. However, you need to be sure and practice safety when swimming in the ocean.
