South Carolina's Hammock Coast®

Underneath sorbet-colored skies, you'll find the quiet beach communities of South Carolina’s Hammock Coast: Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Murrells Inlet, DeBordieu Colony and southern Garden City.

On the Hammock Coast are spacious beaches and pristine salt marshes, offering chances to soak up the sun, spirit away on a kayak or even catch fish and blue crabs for dinner. Perfectly situated between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, the Hammock Coast is serviced by two major airports.

Pawleys Island, one of America’s oldest seaside resorts, has been named one of the best beaches in the world. As the birthplace of the rope hammock, relaxation has a long history here. (And gave inspiration to the region’s moniker as the “Hammock Coast.”) Litchfield Beach, just north of Pawleys, earned TripAdvisor's designation as one of the Top 10 beaches in America! Murrells Inlet, known as the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina,” was originally a fishing village on a protected inlet. The southern portion of Garden City overlooks Murrells

Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, offering stunning views in every direction. And DeBordieu Colony offers a stunning beach near historic Georgetown, where history comes alive at five museums.

Between the business districts of Murrells Inlet and Litchfield are two of the Hammock Coast’s most famous attractions –Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. Recognized as one of the top birding spots on the East Coast, the state park offers camping and access to an undeveloped beach. Just across Ocean Highway is Brookgreen

New Jersey Southern Shore: Slip Away From The Everyday To Recharge Your Spirit And Soul

Once summer is over and our beach chairs are stored away, the pace at New Jersey Southern Shore becomes unhurried and coastal life is about seemingly endless time and wide-open space that lets you slip away from the everyday and relax. Read on for some ideas to help you build an itinerary for a perfect fall or winter getaway in Cape May and Cumberland Counties. www.njsouthernshore.com

First visit a National Historic

Landmark City, Cape May, the nation’s oldest seaside resort, filled with outstanding examples of Victorian architecture, and be sure to shop for a few things like antiques, clothing, candy and more at the Washington Street Mall. Take a tour of the Emlen Physick Estate or hop aboard a trolley for a tour of the town. Special events planned throughout the year, including Victorian and Christmas celebrations. www.capemaymac.org

Just over the bridge from Cape

May, you’ll find the Wildwoods. Spend some time walking on the wide beaches, then visit the Historic Hereford Inlet Lighthouse. Or simply drive around for a step back in time to view the Doo Wop Architecture, the largest concentration of midcentury commercial architecture in the U.S. The era's influence on the city features authentic 50's, mid-century and a touch of space age design reflected in the architectural style of the city's hotels.

www.wildwoodsnj.com

Next stop is "America's Greatest Family Resort," Ocean City. Head to Ocean City's Asbury Avenue - the resort’s downtown shopping district that’s lined with quaint restaurants and eclectic shops. At Christmas, the Asbury shopping district becomes a “Miracle on Asbury Avenue” celebrating the holiday with free horse and carriage rides and a First Night celebration that kicks off the new year in grand style. www.oceancityvacation.com

Then head on up to Fortescue and watch fishing fleets unload their catch. Farther up the winding river, take a walking tour of Greenwich with the Cumberland County Historical Society. The colonial river port was the site of New Jersey's own tea party, a prelude to the Revolutionary War. Since then, not much has changed in this quiet little town,

Main Street is still called Ye Greate Street, and many of the homes that line it were built in the 1700s. www.historicalsociety.com Head farther inland to Millville. Visit Wheaton Arts, a cultural center dedicated to the history of American glassmaking, traditional and contemporary crafts, and folk art. Home to the Museum of American Glass, the largest museum devoted specifically to American glass. Watch modern-day glassblowers as they finish the transformation of sand into glass. While you're there, make a glass paperweight for yourself. www.wheatonarts.org

While still in Millville, located between the downtown thoroughfare and the nearby Maurice River, the Glasstown Arts District comprises a rich variety of art studios and galleries, artists' residences, restaurants, and related businesses. Enjoy live entertainment, shopping and handmade artisan works on the monthly Third Friday event. www.glasstownartsdistrict.com Escape the everyday and feel free to pursue your passions at New Jersey Southern Shore.
