Ridgeland, South Carolina has been called the "Heart of the Lowcountry" for several reasons. First of all the people who live here are genuinely friendly. Don't be surprised when people you have never seen before bid you the greeting of the day while walking down the street or wave at you from their cars. It also is the "Heart of the Lowcountry" because it is centrally located to all the famous sites people want to see and all the wonderful things people want to do while visiting in the Lowcountry. And last, but for many certainly not least, Ridgeland is known as the "Heart of the Lowcountry" because people come from all over the world to get married here. It only takes 24 hours to get your license and the Probate Judge will gladly do the honors. How would you like to visit three of the most desirable vacation spots on the east coast, unpack only once, get motel rooms at reasonable rates, and enjoy the hospitality of a small southern town just like it used to be? Sounds to good to be true? Not in Ridgeland. We are 30 miles from Hilton Head Island with its fabulous beaches and its fantastic golf courses. It also is only thirty miles to the "Garden of Good and Evil" in Savannah. See all the sights mentioned in "The Book" as it is called here, experience a town unlike any other in the world and then return to the leisurely flow of life in Ridgeland. Beaufort, SC, home of the world famous Parris Island Marine Corps Depot is also only 30 miles away. This wonderfully preserved town will take you back in history with carriage tours passing by stately mansions and under moss laden oaks. Then in the evening return to Ridgeland for that real leisure time.
