NORTH CAROLINA

North Carolina – Perfection Year-Round The sun wakes in the eastern waves of the Atlantic Ocean, warms the sparkling sands and travels west over the lakes and rivers of the Piedmont region to the rocky western expanse. Melting into the wooded peaks and ascending majesty of the Appalachian and Great Smoky Mountains, the sunsets afford

heavenly views from the worldrenowned Blue Ridge Parkway, which winds its way through the green mountain ranges of North Carolina. Hikers and camping enthusiasts never have to look far for contentment in the wooded regions of North Carolina. Beautiful hardwood forests cover two thirds of the mountainous landscape and boast having over 120 species of trees. One peak, Mount Mitchell, reaches 6,684 feet into the sky, making it the tallest peak in the state and eastern US. North Carolina’s Piedmont region

rolls the foothills out into green meadows and prairies, stretching from the western mountain regions to the eastern shore. Some areas gather more than 30 inches of snow annually, making Piedmont a prime location for year-round recreation. Regional summers see low humidity and cool shady hideaways never lacking. Fishing, hiking, and picnicking maintain great popularity for summer adventurers, and skiing, snowboarding, and sledding is just around the corner with the winter snows!

Southern Gulf Stream currents brush against the North Carolina coast and warm the elegant beaches and rolling sand dunes. Jockey’s Ridge, a magnificent sand dune, is the highest along the eastern coast, decidedly one of the most romantic look outs onto the blue ocean. Local wetlands also offer beautiful picnicking spots and a great chance to view North Carolina’s diverse wildlife. Modern resorts and magnificent hotels border the shoreline for some of the greatest views in the state.

Find Your Treasure in Pender County, North Carolina Pender County, North Carolina is home to the family-friendly beaches of Topsail Island, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Black and Northeast Cape Fear River, where water sports and fishing abound. We are also home to rich history, farmer’s markets, seafood markets, boutiques and specialty shops.

SOUTH CAROLINA

Sun, Surf, Sand and South Carolina Tempt Travelers

A mix of easy public access, private retreats and natural preserves highlights the 200 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline that South Carolina calls its own. For generations, beach trips to millions of Americans and Canadians has meant an easy drive to Myrtle Beach and later, Hilton Head, while expanded air travel has added more international travelers in recent years. Reliable, decent weather year-round and a burgeoning menu of attractions and amenities continue to drive that growth in popularity.

Starting from the north, Myrtle Beach anchors the 60-mile crescent of shoreline known as the Grand Strand. Characterized by long, sweeping stretches of sand and surf, the Strand offers both bustling and less-boisterous choices for plopping that plastic chaise lounge and propping the umbrella. In Myrtle Beach proper, hotels old and new, restaurants and shops line the beach, with public access points interspersed. Then there are the quiet ocean-side beach communities such as Cherry Grove, Atlantic Beach

(considered perhaps the nation’s first predominantly African American beach town), Garden City and “elegantly shabby” Pawleys Island. Each offers varying degrees of public beach access and wide choices of hotel, cottage and condo rentals, as well as package deals with many of the more than 100 golf courses on the Strand. Cozy Myrtle Beach and expansive Huntington Beach state parks also offer beach access, camping, environmental education programs and more. Next up going south is storied

course, the best attraction of all is the sixty miles of white sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Thoughtful water venues include a heated indoor pool and lazy river.

and outdoor children’s pools. Grand Atlantic features conveniences such as an onsite restaurant, store and fitness room. There is a covered, attached parking garage. Grand Atlantic Resort Myrtle Beach, SC 800-852-7032 www.grandatlanticresort.com ¤

Edisto Island. Live oaks draped with Spanish moss overhang the narrow highway across the big island to Edisto Beach, long beloved for its great shelling. The park also has a robust environmental education center, camping and cabins. At the south end of South Carolina’s coast is Hilton Head, a golf and tennis haven. Hilton Head is world famous for its plantation

resorts, which combine beachfront dining, pools and cabanas with tennis, a range of accommodations and public and private golf. There are literally thousands of hotel rooms, condos, campsites and other accommodations along the South Carolina coast, as well as a myriad of dining, entertainment and educational options to help spice up the trip. -Marc Rapport
