  3. Stunning Beaches From the lively vibe of Myrtle Beach to the quiet serenity of Pawley’s Island, South Carolina’s 60 miles of coastline is a slice of paradise. Beach days just hit differently here.
  4. Goodbye, Winter Blues With mild winters and warm summers, South Carolina’s climate is practically begging you to enjoy the great outdoors every day of the year.
  5. Adventure Awaits Around Every Corner  Whether you’re hiking in one of the area’s parks, kayaking through marshes, or hitting the links at one of SC’s world-class golf courses, there’s no shortage of ways to soak up nature here.
  6. Work Hard, Play Hard With a growing job market in industries like tech, healthcare, and tourism, you can build a thriving career and enjoy beach life.
