SC has one of the best towns for Thanksgiving vacation, Country Living magazine says. Here’s why
November is here and Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away.
Have you started planning for the fall holiday yet?
Recently, Country Living Magazine named a South Carolina destination as one of the 35 best towns in America that will make for the best Thanksgiving vacations for this year.
Although the holiday kicks off a busy time for many residents in the state, taking time to travel and escape the mounting stress of the holiday season was cited as one of the many reasons to visit the Lowcountry locale.
Kiawah Island, which ranked 33rd overall, was named for its waterside homes and golf courses among many other attractions.
“Kiawah Island is one of the most serene places to spend a family holiday,” the magazine states. “If you’re feeling like splurging, stay at the five-star Sanctuary, where you’ll be treated to special Thanksgiving meals and activities.”
Kiawah Island hosts a Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning, a four-star Thanksgiving dinner dining experience and several pie preorder options among other Thanksgiving programs.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort plays host as a favorite holiday tradition for families yearly with Thanksgiving being a wonderful time to gather on the island with friends and family, while the resort begins the festive season with lavish buffets, epicurean experiences in restaurants and home-cooked meals to enjoy in your vacation rental, according to Kiawah Island Golf Resort on their Thanksgiving activities.
Also on the list, although not in South Carolina but rather in the neighboring state of Georgia, was Savannah at 19th place overall for the best places to travel for the fall holiday.
The magazine mentioned Savannah’s coastal location, hospitality and history as noteworthy aspects for a Thanksgiving trip to the city.
A visit to Old Fort Jackson, window shopping boutiques and art galleries as well as strolling through historic Bonaventure Cemetery were also mentioned by the magazine as “must-do’s” during your Thanksgiving trips to the area. The area has several popular locales for Black Friday shopping and local restaurants cater for Thanksgiving dinner.
