Beaufort, South Carolina

Authors Cele and Lynn Seldon have announced the release of their new book, “100 Things to Do in the South Carolina Lowcountry Before You Die.” This latest publication represents the third installment in their successful “before you die” series, following previous works that explored the cities of Charleston and Savannah.

The Seldons, who have been travel journalists for 25 years, focus on the southeastern United States and have called the South Carolina Lowcountry their home for the past eight years. The idea for this book was pitched by their publisher, Reedy Press, capitalizing on the success of their previous titles.

In preparing for the book, the authors originally compiled an extensive list of about 300 entries. They faced the challenging task of narrowing it down to just 100. To organize the content effectively, five categories were established, including one dedicated to food and drink. This section highlights a variety of offerings that go beyond traditional Southern cuisine.

The book covers a geographical area stretching from Edisto Island to Hilton Head, specifically aimed at travelers who frequently commute between Charleston and Savannah. The authors shared that residing in the Lowcountry made writing about the area both accessible and a more natural process for them.

Book Launch Events

The book will be officially launched at two events: the first on October 1st at the historic Arsenal in Beaufort, followed by a second launch event at the Culinary Institute of the South on October 2nd. Additionally, there is a book signing scheduled for October 16th at Harold’s Country Club.

Readers interested in the new title will find it available at local bookstores and visitor centers, including the Beaufort Visitor Center and Bluffton Hilton Head Chamber of Commerce.
