Orientation
With its beach-friendly climate, huge array of places to visit, and excellent accommodation, South Carolina is surely one of America's most appealing destinations. It's the kind of place where you can tour battlefields and other historic sights, play golf at world class courses, or spend a week in the sunshine perfecting your tan.
Getting to Know South Carolina's GeographySouth Carolina isn't a large state at around 48,000 square kilometers, but it's still important to know where to base yourself. For some people, the star of the state is its Atlantic coast, also known as the Carolina Sandhills. But the inland Piedmont has its charms, as do the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwestern part of the state.
How to Get to South CarolinaIf you are heading to the coast, it's best to fly into Charleston International Airport, although Myrtle Beach is also served by a number of major airlines. When heading to the mountains, Greenville-Spartanburg is more suitable, and also has plenty of connections.
