Hilton Head Island is wonderful if you're looking for golf, tennis, or just somewhere quiet to relax.

Charleston is extremely walkable. We love the downtown area. Patriots Points and the battleship are good for a full day visit. Rush hour traffic can rival ATL/MIA for congestion. James Island County Park is excellent with hiking, walking, and paddle boats. If you're into golf, Charleston Municipal is phenomenal.

Savannah is not my favorite city in the southeast, but it has its charm. We did a horse carriage history tour which we found extremely interesting. The River Walk is fun if big ships are coming by, otherwise it's touristy and full of trinket shops and sweatshirts.
