Quick travel checklist

Travel tips that actually help: Charleston has narrow streets and tight parking — aim for a lot and walk. Myrtle Beach draws families in summer; book hotels early and plan beach hours for cooler mornings. Columbia is a good stop for a fuel and food break on I‑26. Pack a light rain jacket — showers can pop up fast in summer.

Food and culture: South Carolina’s Lowcountry cuisine is a highlight. Try shrimp and grits, Lowcountry boil and classic pulled pork barbecue. Local farmers’ markets and seafood shacks often have the freshest picks; our guides point you to reliable spots liked by locals.

Safety and transport: Most drives are straightforward, but rush hours around major cities can add time. Watch for coastal weather alerts during hurricane season and expect higher traffic in tourism hotspots. If you rent a car, confirm parking rules in historic districts to avoid fines.
