Adventures for Two

The best dates aren’t just about where you eat. They’re about what you do together. In the Pee Dee, you’ve got options that range from peaceful nature escapes to cultural experiences worth sharing.

Start your day exploring one of our state parks. Walk the boardwalks that wind through cypress swamps, hike trails that meander through forests, or find a quiet spot by the water. 

More of a culture couple? Catch a live performance at one of our theaters, browse art galleries showcasing regional talent, or explore museums that tell the story of our region. Historic downtown areas across our seven counties are perfect for strolling hand in hand. Think tree-lined streets, beautiful architecture, and local shops where you can browse for something special.

Looking for something different? Visit unique attractions like nationally recognized gardens, sample craft beverages at local breweries and tasting rooms, or simply find a riverbank at sunset and watch the light change. The Pee Dee gives you space to slow down and really be together.
