These have made the state a very popular tourist destination. The maximum rush of tourists can be seen on the sandy beaches bordering the Atlantic coast. A very significant characteristic of these beaches is the natural formation of bays.

The waves from the Atlantic and the location of the state on the North American peninsula have resulted in small bays that have various beaches located within them.
Moving on to some prominent beaches, let us take a look at Myrtle Beach. A resort city, located in Horry County, it is actually a group of coastal towns, villages, and two resort complexes.

The advantage of surfing here is that the waves have a medium range and a swell that is between 3 - 8 feet, which is challenging yet safe.
Another very good beach that you can go to, is the Folly Beach, which is located in Charleston County. The beach has an excellent swell strength and wave height, making it an ideal place to surf, the best among all the state's beaches. If you are visiting this place, then the historical Folly Island is also worth a visit.
If you are looking for some peace of mind, then we would recommend the Hilton Head Island. It is a town that is situated on the small island that bears the same name, and is a part of the Beaufort County.
This island has some excellent beaches with amazing natural treasures, that have been preserved by the local people.
