If you’re looking for a charming small town in South Carolina, Travel + Leisure has a list for you.
All over the state.
Travelers Rest, Bluffton, Aiken, Florence, Lake City and Murrells Inlet.
Travelers Rest is having a big week in the media. The Upstate city of about 8,500 people was just profiled by Southern Living, which offered a list of 14 things to do there.
Travel + Leisure called Travelers Rest “an outdoor oasis in the Foothills.”
The magazine noted the Swamp Rabbit Trail , a former rail line to Greenville now a walk-bike path, the Tandem Creperie and Coffeehouse and Swamp Rabbit Brewery .
“Top-notch tacos and pizza are each within a block on Main Street,” the magazine said.
“Better yet, make Travelers Rest your base. Sunrift Adventures , the local outdoor hub since 1980, rents bikes and kayaks to hit nearby trails and whitewater.”
Bluffton, which according to its website is considered the heart of the Lowcountry and the last true coastal village of the South, is among the fastest growing in South Carolina with an increase of 120% since the 2010 census.
