If you like a serving of history along with your outdoor adventure, then Bull Island is your dream destination. Located in Awendaw, SC, just a few minutes outside of Charleston, Bull Island Beach will draw you in to its dramatic stories and sunny shores. Once a haven for pirates, then later the site for the Martellow Tower which didn't survive the Civil War, this area was eventually developed into part of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in 1932. That unbreakable bond between history and nature is very much alive, and you can see it everywhere from the picturesque woodland trails all the way to the beach's inviting shores.

Enjoying a day at the beach means you'll more than likely be doing that with a large number of other beach-goers. If you want to find a quiet break from all that hustle and bustle but still enjoy a beautiful shoreline, make Edisto Beach your destination of choice. Located about 30 miles outside of Charleston, the beach is strikingly clean and inviting, as amenities like restrooms, family campsites and parking make finding your place on the sand stress-free. Sure, you won't be the only one enjoying Edisto Beach, but it will feel like this magnificent stretch of coastland is all yours when you comfortably stretch out on your beachtowel.

The items that tell this dramatic story date all the way back to 1842.

Every September, the Scottish Games and Highland Gathering takes place to celebrate all things Scottish and Celtic.

In other words, this is a great time for the whole family!
