Description
of Carolina regions
displayed on above map
North Carolina comes in four flavors for your enjoyment: the Mountains (A, B & C on the above map), the Foothills (D & E), the Heartland (F & G) which includes the famous Sand Hills area, and the Coastal Plain (H, I & J).
South Carolina comes in five flavors: the Foothills or Upstate (K & L), the Pee Dee (M) which is the southerly extension of North Carolina's Sandhills, the 'Freshwater Coast' (N & O), the recreation area along the Savannah River impoundments, Lake Murray (P) and the Coastal Plain R, S, T & U).
While each of these regions has attractions related to the geography of the region, many attractions transcend the geography. Choose your favorite flavor - or sample some of all. We welcome you to Carolina!
