Between Charleston SC & Savanah GA

Hunting Island State Park. Trails to walk, a lighthouse to climb and a nature center. Nearby is Beufort, SC with shops and restaurants and Hilton Head island with more of the same. I'm not sure what will be open that time of year. As far as weather. It could be 40 one day and 70 the next.

I have been from NC below Wilmington to Edisto Island in Decemeber, the water temp is around 58-61 on average...its nice on the beach, you can barefoot but you might have some slightly cold toes but shorts and a windbreaker is about all you need....SC native :)

Hunting Island is the best by far.

Overall, I agree.

Personally I prefer the beach at Edisto. The drawbacks are horrible water at the campsites and a looong tote tank haul on a highway to the dump station.

Double ditto.

I'll also agree, HI is fabulous and during the winter, it is just awesome. We go during the summer, but we've also been for Thanksgiving week, spring break, but our best time was during January.

It is "usually" in the mid 60s during the day and then drops to the high 30s at night.

We live close to Hunting Island.
January and February can vary between lows in the 30's to highs near 80.
Water temp at the beach too cold for us. Plenty to see and do in the area.

Thank you all so much!!

SC's Edisto Beach SP is one of our favorites.

Between Hunting and Edisto, which has the best sites on the ocean?
