Author Tee Gentry

I’m always looking for new ideas for road trips and this article from Our Escape Clause is a great place to start for the best weekend getaways in the South.

My favorites in the south have always been Folly Beach, Asheville, Charleston, Savannah, and Nashville. But now, I want to try a few of these places. From beach escapes to city breaks, and from hiking trails to adorable small towns, there is an enormous number of incredible and varied places to visit in the south. And, with the help of a couple of dozen other travel bloggers, we’ve attempted to round up the best of them with this guide to the best weekend getaways in the South.

Exploring the Southeast

Whether you’re looking for a laid-back romantic getaway for two, your next quick family vacation, a fast-paced trip with friends, or even a fun solo escape, one of these incredible weekend trips in the south is bound to be right for you. So pack up and enjoy your next getaway in the beautiful south and help your health, too according to Everyday Health.
