What are typical drive times to the nearest beaches (presumably the ones near Charleston?)?
Much obliged.  |
From downtown Columbia, you can be sitting on the beaches in Charleston in 1 hour 45 minutes. 2 hours maximum. This includes Isle of Palms, Wild Dunes, Sullivans Island, Folly Beach, etc. You can get to the Grandstrand beaches (Pawley's Island, Litchfield, Garden City, Surfside, etc.) in about 2 hours 15 minutes. Myrtle Beach will be about 2 1/2 hours.
As for the mountains, from downtown Columbia, you can be at Sugar Mountain or Beech Mountain in less than 3 hours. Asheville is a little over 2 hours away.
It's such a nice benefit of living here that you can go to either the beaches or the mountains just for a regular weekend trip, without having to take vacation from work! Not too many places in the country are within 2-3 hours from both great beaches and great mountains!
