Spring comes early to the Lowcountry. At a time of year when New York City is coated in a seemingly permanent layer of brown slush and St. Paul, Minnesota, is digging out from yet another remarkable blizzard, Beaufort, South Carolina, is celebrating its annual daffodil harvest and Charleston is putting on its Lowcountry Blues Bash and hosting the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. In a region that's sweltering by May, February through April is the time to visit, and Cecily McMillan's guide makes traveling as easy as sweet potato pie. With attention to history, lodging, restaurants, recreation, and culture, McMillan provides easily navigable maps, advice on what to do and see, and a strong flavor of the South.

Now fully revised, this best-selling guide to the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia is still ONE sourcebook you'll need, whether you are going to Charleston, Beufort, Hilton Head Island, or Savannah.
