  Sea warm enough

  Direct hits on this stretch of the South Carolina coast are rare, but the island is flat, low and reached by one causeway, so evacuation orders come early and often. September is the month that matters. Lähde ↗

  The island runs on the school calendar: bike paths busy by nine, beach clubs full, and rentals let by the week from Saturday to Saturday, which is why every road on and off jams on the same morning.
