The charming coastal communities of the South Carolina coast make a delightful destination all year ‘round. Located between Myrtle Beach and Charleston, the Hammock Coast provides a welcome respite with its quiet historic towns and beautiful beaches. For those who think the beach is only for winter, think again. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy, no matter what the season.
Seven All-Season Activities on the Hammock Coast
Beachtime
The beach is a fabulous spot anytime, even when the temperatures are cool. While it may be too cool to swim (or maybe not), there are plenty of activities for enjoying the surf, sand and sunshine. Build sandcastles. Check out tidal pools. Go for a walk along the shore.
Fishing
Every day is a good day for fishing. Grab a pole and a net, then head to the jetties, the beach or the North Causeway.
Shelling
Another favorite activity for any season is beach combing. Hit the beach early or at low tide to see what the ocean has washed up. Discover an array of shells that are fan-shaped, conchs and spindles. Spectacular colors are on display as well.
Birdwatching
Bring the binoculars and a handy-dandy birding guide. Our diverse ecosystem makes it one of the top birding destinations in the Southeast. Popular birding locations include Huntington Beach State Park, Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge and Hobcaw Barony.
Strolling the Gardens
Set aside a day to visit Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet. From its American Sculpture exhibit to the Botanical Gardens to the Lowcountry Zoo, this attraction is spectacular in winter, spring, summer and fall.
Play a Round
Golf knows no season. With award-winning courses, the Hammock Coast makes a great golfing destination. Challenge yourself at the Heritage Golf Club, True Blue Golf Club and Litchfield Country Club. Several of our True Blue rentals put you right on the course.
Good Eating
Great dining options make a great vacation. Pawleys Island and the surrounding communities offer fantastic Lowcountry fare, seafood and culinary fusions that will melt in your mouth. Enjoy local favorites such as Frank’s, Chive Blossom, Drunken Jack’s and the Hanser House.
There is no need to wait ’til summer to get your toes in the sand. This coastal paradise is waiting anytime.
