You get a lil’ bit of everything living in South Carolina – beaches, mountains, cities, small towns. You name it, you can probably find it somewhere in the state. Except for skyscrapers. We don’t have too many of those.

The State put together a list of 50 things to do in S.C. before you die, and here are five of our personal must-dos from the list – most of which you can do right here in Cola:

🌴 Attend a Carolina vs. Clemson football game | This in-state rivalry is one of the best in college football. Actually go inside the game – tailgating alone does not count.

🌴 Float or kayak the Congaree | Hit up Palmetto Outdoors for your gear + pack a cooler.

🌴 Dig in on the S.C. BBQ Trail | We may serve mustard, light tomato, heavy tomato + vinegar sauce here, but everyone knows mustard-based is the real deal.

🌴 Witness the synchronous fireflies show at Congaree National Park | Special because CNP is one of the only places in the U.S. you can witness this natural phenomenon – which only happen a few weeks each year.

🌴 Buy a Hootie and the Blowfish album | Need we explain this one?

See all 50 S.C. activities.
