A Guide to South Carolina Beaches, informative and entertaining for natives and visitors to the state alike, is an invaluable resource for anyone planning a getaway to the Palmetto coast or for the armchair traveler who will one day soon splash in the surf at Folly Beach or contemplate the wild beauty of Hunting Island..
