Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map. This self-guided driving tour takes you between Savannah and Charleston, exploring South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
You’ll pass the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, home to alligators and herons. In Hardeeville and Ridgeland, learn about Southern traditions and the history of railroads and barbecue. Visit Saint Helena Island, the Penn Centre, and discover the Gullah Geechee culture.
Next, explore the Old Sheldon Church Ruins, a testament to colonial and Civil War history. Cross the Combahee River, where Harriet Tubman freed hundreds of enslaved people.
Continue through the ACE Basin, an untouched estuary, before reaching the Pon Pon Chapel of Ease, a quiet relic from South Carolina’s past. Don’t miss the 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree and Drayton Hall, one of America’s most preserved plantation houses.
Finally, arrive at Charles Towne Landing, where South Carolina was first established, and end your journey in Charleston, with its charming cobblestone streets, pastel homes, and scenic waterfront views.
