What kinds of activities can I do in winter in South Carolina?
For the most part, you can do nearly everything in the winter months in South Carolina that you can do during the summer months. Golf, hiking, and more are perfectly suited for winter activities. South Carolina's mild year-round temperatures along the coast mean that a beach day is doable in most months, although during the winter, a bathing suit and a dip in the water may not be appropriate. At the same time, the mountain lakes region boasts cooler temps during the winter but most hiking trails are accessible year-round - and are almost more pleasant without the humidity that lingers during the summer months.
