Of course these are not the only two that come to mind when thinking of the best beaches in South Carolina. While we have a lovely selection of Hilton Head vacation rentals or Myrtle Beach vacations, we want to highlight some of the lesser-known but equally spectacular South Carolina beaches you can visit this summer.

Forget about Myrtle Beach rentals, have you seen our Edisto Beach houses? For your upcoming beach vacation in South Carolina, head to one of our favorites. Edisto Beach sits just south of Charleston is a great place if you’re looking for quiet family vacations or secluded getaways.

Spot wildlife, including turtles, dolphins, or pelicans, relax on the beach, book a fishing charter, or play a round of golf.
