    Another South Carolina hello!

    Hi all! I joined the forum about this time last year brimming with questions, and eager to get started with hanging, but work got in the way and I all but forgot. Now, Spring is in full effect, and I've got the itch again.

    First, a little about me. I'm in Ladson, SC just northwest of Charleston and originally from Atlanta, GA. I've been living here for a little over 2 years, and my dream has been to find a nice beach somewhere, strap up a hammock, and just swing an afternoon away, listening to the waves and feeling the breeze. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where exactly the good spots are. A lot of the beaches in and around Charleston are so developed that you can't throw a sand dollar without hitting someone or their beach house. Save for taking a boat out to one of the uninhabited islands, I fear that I won't be able to find that one spot I think about all the time.

    I look forward to diving deep into the forums and reading up on all the great information and stories here. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for a good beach hang, I'm all ears! I'm looking at anywhere between Myrtle Beach and Hunting Island.

    Thanks!

    Welcome from northern South Carolina. These guys are hammocking wizards 'round here. With all of the wisdom shared here it's easy to learn and equally easy to spend a pile of cash on gear. Enjoy the ride!

    We've had good luck with hangs in both Huntington Beach and Myrtle Beach State Parks. Edisto Beach State Park also has some hanging spots.
