South Carolina Tours

South Carolina is a state in the United States that borders Georgia to the south and North Carolina to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.  It contains 46 counties and its capital is Columbia.  The state's coastline contains many salt marshes and estuaries, as well as natural ports such as Georgetown and Charleston. An unusual feature of the coastal plain is a large number of Carolina bays, the origins of which are uncertain. Just west of the coastal plain is the Sandhills region, also known as the Midlands. This region of the state is thought to contain remnants of old coastal dunes from a time when the land was sunken or the oceans were higher.  South Carolina has a humid subtropical climate and is occasionally affected by tropical cyclones.
