South Carolina Spot Among The ‘Most Underrated Summer Travel Destinations’ | iHeartRadio

Summer is officially here, and many around the country are already planning how they want to enjoy the warm weather, from long days spent soaking up the sun to cozy nights listening to crickets chirp and cicadas sing while surrounded by family and friends.

Cosmopolitan knows just how much people enjoy traveling in the summer months and seeing more of the beauty that America has to offer so it compiled a list of the 15 “most underrated summer travel destinations” around the country, “inexpensive spots with fascinating backstories and vibey hangouts just waiting to be discovered.”

Among the list of gorgeous state parks in the Northeast to winding highways along the West Coast is one spot in South Carolina: Hilton Head. Here’s what the site had to say:

“Hilton Head is the Hamptons of the South, and — even though it’s not a secret to anyone from this area — I’m always shocked that it’s not more crowded. The beaches are incredible, but I’m all about that sweet tea-sipping cabana lifestyle by the pools at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. The entire island has a small-town feel, and after spending the day on the sand, or walking around the shops and cafes at the Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina, pretty much everyone ends up at The Salty Dog Café for dinner and/or drinks around sunset.”
