Baby boomers think South Carolina is magical. A rich and rewarding existence for its residents of history, traditions, and characters blend into wonderfully-unique town and country cultures. Crystal white sand, world class golf, unique shops, and fantastic dining will please any baby boomer. South Carolina is a popular and fast growing retirement area.

South Carolina is comfortable with its own tendencies towards tradition and timelessness. Small towns are affordable and great places to retire. With a sense of tradition and heritage lingering from the Old South and spurred by retiring baby boomers, South Carolina presents a lifestyle and quality of life that is both hospitable and full of opportunities for fun and adventure.

South Carolina loves golf; there are more than 300 public and private courses in the state. In fact, golf came to South Carolina before it came to the rest of America. The first golf association in the country was formed in the state in 1786.

South Carolina is a diverse and inviting place to retire with a number of lifestyle choices. You should take the time to explore its many regions before making your selection on a retirement dream location.
