Spring is just around the corner and Puxatawney Phil’s prediction for “six more weeks of bad weather” is set to expire very soon. In spite of the threat of bad weather it’s still been warm enough on the South Carolina coast to go spend an occasional day or half-day at the beach. If you’re thinking ahead to a little spring getaway, then these eight overnight destinations in South Carolina are fantastic spots to make that happen.
From affordable cabins, to a campground and even the most luxurious oceanfront resort in the state, this list is sure to have a destination that fits everyone’s taste, lifestyle and budget. Check it out.

TripAdvisor/Colin C This small quiet island located between Myrtle Beach and Charleston is home to the historic Pelican Inn. From one side of the building follow the boardwalk to the dock on beautiful Salt Creek; on the other side of the Inn follow a beautiful shaded walkway to an almost empty beach. Perfect! The Pelican Inn is a true B&B and serves up breakfast each morning, family-style, in a charming sunroom with one big long table. Again, perfect! Find out more information here.

- Hilton Head Island - The Westin 2 Grasslawn Ave, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

One note, as of the end of February 2017 the hotel is reportedly making some construction repairs from Hurricane Matthew so be sure to ask for a room away from the work areas.
