Dining Suggestions for South Carolina

L'il Pie House in Cherry Grove
This is a place you should stop by in the early morning. I have not heard a lot about their pies, but have it on good authority (my father and I) that their cinnamon rolls are out of this world. 203 Sea Mountain Highway, North Myrtle Beach. 843.249.9037.

How do you get out of paying full price for your meal at a restaurant without having to scrub dishes? Simple, just buy Restaurant.com Dining Certificates. Locate a restaurant close to where  you are at Restaurant.com

Some Favorites in South Carolina
Hilton Head Island
Sea Pines Plantation - One of my favorite places, Sea Pines Resort, is on this years 500 list by Conde Nast.

One of the things I really enjoy doing in Sea Pines is renting a small boat and taking it out. You can leave the Harbour Town Marina and ride to the northeast and enter Broad Creek. Often you can see dolphins in Broad Creek and sometimes they come right up to your boat. However, you should not feed or try to touch the dolphins, although this is very hard to do!
I also enjoy walking through the natural areas of Sea Pines Plantation. There is one area where you can do a little fishing or just watch all of the marvelous sea birds that gather in the area. What a wonderful way to relax!
