Go to South Carolina for the Spanish moss and antebellum architecture, but stay for the innovative culinary scene and miles of beaches in this proud Southern state.
You'll swear you've stepped back in time as you saunter down Charleston's cobblestone streets. Stop to admire the 18th-century mansions and smell the hanging honeysuckle – someone might extend that Southern hospitality and invite you up for a cool drink.
Johns Island is a lowland locus between Charleston and South Carolina’s barrier beaches. Salt marshes hum with wildlife, villages drift like the tide, and oaks, heavy with Spanish moss, whisper tales of a storied past.
