Mention South Carolina to most any rider and you're likely to hear a colorful anecdote about a long weekend at Myrtle Beach Bike Week. But there are far richer sights to experience in this part of the country, if you know where to look. I'm talking about the Low Country. Depending on whom you ask, the Low Country generally encompasses the coastal plains from Charleston to Savannah, from the Atlantic coast 50 miles inland. This part of the southeastern US is referred to as 'low' because the area is mostly near or below sea level; the marshlands and waterways that give it a distinct flavor and natural beauty were once known for agricultural bounty and prestige. Today the region is renowned for its historic communities, and, yes-unique scenery.
