South Carolina has beautiful scenery, from the rolling hills of the Upcountry to the glistening lakes of the midlands to the wide, white sandy beaches of the 320km (200-mile) Atlantic coastline. The State has a rich history documented by attractive plantations and the northwestern foothills where fierce battles were fought during the Civil War.
Charleston, situated on the coast, is one of its best-known tourist destinations, being the site of the first permanent English settlement. Myrtle Beach, a popular resort city famous for its golf, centered on the sun-drenched 95km (60-mile) stretch of coastline on the northern border, and Hilton Head, which has 20km (12 miles) of beautiful beaches, unspoilt forest and golf courses, are among the other top attractions.
