| Charleston is situated on a narrow,
low-lying peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, at the head of a broad
bay leading to the Atlantic Ocean.
The rich, vast tidal land of the Lowcountry, which extends from Savannah, Georgia,
to the South Carolina coast,
is covered by numerous serpentine rivers and streams. If you are taking
a plane
to visit the region, make sure to look out of the window as the
airplane
descends. While the plane is circling low, you will be fascinated to
see an
infinite number of small streams interlocking with each other, forming
a chain
of swamps across the Carolinas and Georgia. |
