Day Trips in South Carolina Lowcountry

While visiting the beautiful Lowcountry in South Carolina, we suggest you take a day trip and venture off the beaten path to discover unique secret destinations tucked under moss covered trees, down the side roads that make our little part of the world so interesting to locals and visitors. Pack a picnic and set off on an adventure. Whether you are interested in a day trip to the beach or in the seat of a kayak, we have the perfect water trips for you. If you are a nature buff, we have you covered as well with dozens of hiking trails.  Don’t forget to bring the camera. Lowcountry flora and fauna will leave you breathless.  If a day on the water is what you have in mind, we have some of the most experienced charter fishing captains around.  When contemplating day trips, just click on any picture for more information, or consult the Visitor’s section of this website.

Whether you are from near or far, you are just a click away from finding the perfect day trip to complete your vacation.  And don’t forget to bring along a copy of the South Carolina Lowcountry Guidebook. Don’t have one, just stop by the Frampton Plantation  Visitor’s Center and Museum, located off I-95 at Exit 33 in Yemassee. Want one ahead of time? Just give us a call at 843-717-3090 and we’ll mail one to you.

A different type of sunrise for #sunrisesunday today. This is blue hour on Pawleys Island. Blue hour lighting hits different. Especially in places like this where there's such a vastness to the sky and you can see a gradient from stars to blues to the earliest purples from the sun's first rays in the sky, long before it even crests the horizon. Added benefit, no one in their right mind wakes up this early to be out an hour before sunrise. Except for me, that is. So, with my gas station coffee in hand, I get to enjoy this beautiful beach without another soul around. Just me, the waves, and the noseeums aggressively attacking me.
