South Carolina: The Palmetto State
South Carolina has become a top destination for travelers. With a rich history, unique architecture, tons of wildlife, picturesque scenery in every direction and carefully preserved culture and traditions, it is no wonder why visitors would be enamored by her.
As a native of South Carolina, one thing I take great pride in is how welcoming and friendly the locals are with visitors. We enjoy sitting outside on a gorgeous day, connecting with new friends over amazing cuisine, cool beverages and great music.
While I may be a bit biased, there’s definitely something very special about The Palmetto State.

Summer Beach Vacation
Location: Pawley's Island, SC
Many years ago, I started collecting sand from beaches I would visit. It’s actually quite interesting how different sand can be around the world…silty, coarse, black, white, pebbles, smoothed glass or even small colorful stones. I love it all.
Yet, I’m partial to my beloved South Carolina beaches. This is where I spent every summer vacation when I was growing up. I can still feel the welcome but slightly warm breeze blowing on a hot summer’s day. The wind carried the sand along the beach along with the smell of salt air and whiffs of Coppertone suntan lotion from nearby sun worshipers.
I think Gershwin captured it best…”Summertime…and the livin’ is easy!”
