Mid-summer is peak riding and peak traffic. Ride smart and make the most of it.
South of the Strand, the roads toward Georgetown wind through live oaks, Spanish moss, and the Francis Marion forest, quiet, shaded, and a world away from the beach crowds. A perfect early-morning summer cruise.
The coast brings brutal heat, sudden afternoon downpours, and heavy tourist traffic on US-17. Ride mornings, hydrate, slow way down in the first minutes of rain, and assume the rental car does not see you.
