Cities and Towns in South Carolina

South Carolina is known for its tourism and there are lots of cities built around that idea. South Carolina has beach communities to the far east, a lively center of the state with history and lakes, and a growing upstate that is not too far from the mountains. Most of the events and attractions in South Carolina can be found around the large cities of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Greenville, along with the best hotels and restaurants, too.

South Carolina is known for its shoreline of subtropical beaches and marshlike sea islands. Coastal Charleston is its oldest city, defined by pastel-colored houses, Old South plantations and Fort Sumter, where the Civil War’s opening shots were fired. To the north is the Grand Strand, a roughly 60-mile stretch of beachfront known for golf courses and the vacation town Myrtle Beach.
