Summertime in the Carolinas is truly remarkable. Tourists and locals alike won't want to miss out on the adventure and exploration that our states have to offer.

In keeping with this spirit, we're excited to share our latest issue, the Summer Issue, chock full of hidden treasures that make North Carolina and South Carolina special. We showcase places that are often overlooked but will undoubtedly captivate visitors, plus the most notable destinations in the two states.

In the first Exclusive, we explore truly unique experiences you must try, like Thistle Dhu, the putting course in Pinehurst. Or go on an exhilarating adventure with the folks at Sky Retreat paragliding. Or if the air isn't your thing, head under ground to the enchanting Linville Caverns, a wonderland of natural formations right in the heart of the High Country.

In our second feature, we reveal the best beaches you've probably never heard of, including many of my favorites like Cape Island and Pole Road. These hidden gems offer beachgoers breathtaking views and pristine sands that will leave one feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Most require ferries, boats, special permits, ORV passes and more!

Finally, we've compiled a list of the top 50 must-do activities this summer in North Carolina and South Carolina, featuring charming towns, stunning beaches, majestic mountains, and a bonus: exclusive hotels and resorts that help you create unforgettable memories.

We had a lot of fun putting these Exclusives together and hope to inspire both locals and tourists to explore the hidden treasures of our favorite places! So, start researching, make some plans, pack your bags and take off to the mountains, Piemont, or beaches of Carolina, where the possibilities really are limitless, and the memories last a lifetime. We wish you a summer filled with sunshine, laughter, and unforgettable adventures!

Sincerely,

Jon-Paul Grice, Art Director Brett Barter, Publisher
