Low country south carolina

We’ve always loved the Palmetto State for bringing us beloved destinations like Charleston and Hilton Head, but there are also dozens of hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. From the mountainous Blue Ridge and Piedmont Regions to the Lowcountry Coast, here are 15 charming small towns to check out in South Carolina.

The South Carolina Lowcountry is tricky to define, but you should put this dreamy land of marshlands, sea islands, and live oaks on your bucket list.

BEAUFORT, S.C. — The “Great Skedaddle” proved the salvation of Beaufort, the jewel in the crown of South Carolina’s Low Country. Following the 1861 firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston, which precipitated the Civil War, the entire state was under siege. Beaufort, just 70 miles south of Charleston, was at particular risk.

On vacation this year we returned to the Low Country. We used to live here when my husband was in the Navy over 20 years ago. It was as lovely as ever (and as hot and humid as we remembered). Critique of the photo is appreciated.
