The Lowcountry is a four season destination. Visit in spring for blooming azaleas, dogwoods and pleasant temperatures. Beachgoers flock to the coast in the summer, although it can be crowded and the weather will be sultry. Fall, with extended Indian summer weather, is another good time to visit, but watch out for hurricanes. Golfers and snowbirds enjoy winter's mild weather, although the ocean water is too cold for swimming except for the hardiest of ocean-goers.
