Story Ideas

We represent Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties which include such cities and towns such as Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, St Helena Island, Port Royal, Edisto Beach, Walterboro, Hampton, Estill, Varnville, Yemassee, Hardeeville and Ridgeland among others.

We have a diverse area and are great venues for art, architecture, nature tourism, agritourism, golf, culinary, history, kayaking, fishing, hunting, shopping and the Gullah Culture. We really have a bit of everything!!!

Here’s a sampling. Email Executive Director Peach Morrison at peach@southcarolinalowcountry.com) for more information or details…

We’ve got plenty of Piggly Wiggly’s (the true barometer of the tourist season down at Edisto Beach, among others!).

We’ve got funky, eclectic art towns like Old Town Bluffton.

We’ve got 5 star resorts in Hilton Head.

We’ve got World Class golf there, too! We’ve got great, not so expensive golf around the area in particular, the Plantation Course at Edisto Beach and two great courses out on Fripp Island.

We’ve got one of if not the only Lighthouse you can still climb at a State Park at Hunting Island State Park.

We’ve got some of the most spectacular river ways for kayaking and fishing- in-shore and off shore.

We’ve got cool little rural towns that will make you feel as though you have stepped back in time. We’ve got Walterboro’s “Antique Row” and Great Swamp Sanctuary. We’ve got the truly unique Harold’s Country Club that serves an awesome steak on Saturday nights, followed by the Screaming Cats…also know as “Okey Dokey Karaoke” (CANNOT miss that!).

We’ve got the Old Sheldon Church…really cool shell of a pre Revolutionary church that was burnt during that period, then rebuilt and burnt again during the War of Northern Aggression.

We’ve got great terrain for biking throughout-with some areas better prepared for bikers than others…but we’re getting there.

We’ve got amazing birding and wildlife viewing, particularly in the ACE Basin (named for the Ashepoo, the Combahee and the Edisto Rivers).

We’ve got Daufuskie Island which is only reachable by boat or ferry.

We’ve got the High Sheriff of the Lowcountry, Dr. Buzzard and the rich history of the Gullah Culture.

We’ve got the Penn Center which was one of the first schools for the freed slaves, which, oh by the way, was started before the Civil War ended.

And I-95 and Hwy 17 running through the heart of the Lowcountry which makes travel quick and lots of back roads which makes travel more leisurely. And So Much More!!!
