Lots of Late Summer Events Not to Miss
While the end of summer may be in sight there’s no end to the fun filled events taking place this time of year around the Grand Strand area of coastal South Carolina. Many people find this is the best time to be at the beach just because there are less people around and the lines are so much shorter. Once August passes by you’ll find the temperatures start to cool off ever so slightly. So grab your friends and head on out to any of the following late summer events and you’ll be glad you did.
