MYRTLE BEACH

 Myrtle Beach is the sun and fun capital of the Grand Strand that beckons millions to the semi-tropical paradise that's a golfer's dream, a fisherman's delight, a family vacation heaven and tennis buff's fantasy. Natural beauty, a climate with distinct but mild and pleasant seasons, and a variety of activities, almost as limitless as the seashells, have made the Grand Strand the choice vacation and retirement spot for generations of Carolinians, along with a swelling tide of national and international tourists.

 Greetings from Myrtle Beach!
Long noted as the Riviera of the South.

 

The fine white sand and dunes of the beaches along the Strand make for the best in swimming, sunbathing, strolling, shelling and surfing. The big thrill, voted near the top by all, is food. Miles of restaurants offer heavenly smells and the best in seafood of the day, if not the very hour. The after-dinner fun begins when Myrtle Beach lights up its Pavilion, as the infinite sky lights the moon and stars. When the sun goes down, the stars step out - on Myrtle Beach's many stages.

CHARLESTON, S.C.

 And then there is Charleston. Her charm and beauty have long proven to be irrestible. You'll see it in the lacy trim of her breezy piazzas. And feel it in the spirit of her rich heritage. A port city steeped in history. Barely changed since its founding in 1670. Here you'll find the very best of the South. A genteel nature, so inviting. So gracious. And an indomitable strength that has proudly withstood great fires, earthquakes, pirates, a civil war and hurricanes with little more than a bat of an eye.

 AMERICA'S MOST HISTORICAL CITY
Charleston, S.C.

 Charles Town, as it was originally called, was settled in 1670 where the Asley and Cooper Rivers meet to form the Atlantic Ocean. It is most famous for its well preserved 18th century architecture, historical forts, gardens, and seaport facilities.
 By horse-drawn carriage, air-conditioned bus, boat, bicycle or on foot, a tour of Charleston is a remarkable journey through time.

COLUMBIA

Nestled in the heart of South Carolina and located at the confluence of the Broad and Saluda rivers, Columbia is the ideal mix of small-town charm, big-city sophistication and thrilling outdoor adventures. Columbia is in the centre of everything. It's the seat of state government; a hub of the arts, education and history; the home of fascinating museums, archives and libraries; the gateway to a wealth of recreation lands and waters, and from its birth a center of hospitality.

Smiling faces, beautiful places

 

Outdoor pleasure abound on nearby Lake Murray, a 50,000-acre impoundment of the Saluda River with 525 miles of shoreline and legendary populations of stripers, bass, bream and crappie. If ever a land offered "something for everyone," here it is - right in the middle of the action.
