From the plantations of Daufuskie, Hilton Head, and Edisto islands in the Lowcountry, and the closed-gate islands of Kiawah, Seabrook, and Debordieu around Charleston, to the rows of hotels standing shoulder-to-shoulder along the Grand Strand in Myrtle Beach, the South Carolina coast is increasingly becoming a walled resource.
