Best Kept Secrets of the LowCountry - An Eclectic mix of unique travel ideas from a local prospective. This site will feature my personal recommendations for Festivals and Monthly Calendar of Events that I suggest for you so you can get a true flavor of the LowCountry lifestyle. I will also include local real estate for sale and vacation rental properties and recipes that are a true sample of Southern culture.
The "LowCountry" is the region south of Beaufort, South Carolina down to Savannah, Georgia. When you see the term “LowCountry cuisine” it simply means food that is made by locals and prepared with rice, seafood and fresh veggies.
I am surrounded by some of the most
beautiful landscapes in the Coastal region that inspires me. I will also include
my own photography to showcase some of the beauty and serenity that surrounds
me.
Some of my favorite LowCountry pleasures:
- Oyster Roast with the locals on the breathtaking view
of the May River, which was actually featured in Southern Living Magazine
for one of the "Best Sunsets" in the SE Coast. This festival usually
features a Live Band and a nice Bon Fire.
- Attending our Wine Tasting extravaganza that features wine from around the region.
-
Exploring Home & Garden tours that are normally bypassed in
Historic Savannah and Isle of Hope Tour of Home. Beaufort, Bluffton
& Hilton Head also have different homes that are showcased
throughout the season that are located in private gated communities that
you normally would not know exist unless you were a local. You can
also see some of the spectacular Antebellum Homes that were featured in
several movies,
The Prince of Tides, The Great Santini, Forest Gump, The Big Chill to
name a few.
My blog is also featured on a travel blog which is http://www.tootntownsusa.com listed under "great travel blogs".
