Why does the South Carolina Lowcountry Offer Best Living and Beaches on the East Coast?


Southern Hospitality is alive and well here.

Charleston’s rapid growth hasn’t affected its Southern charm. Everyone is welcome here in South Carolina. Don’t be surprised when your neighbor or a passerby gives you a smile and a wave on your morning walk. In no time you’ll be saying ‘Hey’ and ‘Thanks Y’all” and it will come as natural to you as making sweet tea for a sultry afternoon.

Southern beauty everywhere you look.

South Carolina’s natural beauty is unmistakable. Spanish moss covered grand oak trees. Blossoming tea olive perfuming in the night air. If ever you’ve wanted to start a garden, this is the place.
