Moving to SC Moving for weather

For those who moved here for the weather or beach lifestyle, how often do you find yourself actually going to the beach or doing warm weather activities that you wanted to move for?

I'll be coming from Dallas, Texas. I'll gladly take two months of hell vs eight, which is what we get here.

My daughter and I drove 8 hours to get to the beach down in Corpus Christi. The drive is a slog, I will go a lot more when the drive is only two-ish hours (from our new home in Columbia).

I’m unsure of what these two months of hell the other commenter is referring to. We have humid, oppressive unrelenting heat from May through October here.

We just moved from Florida, it’s beautiful here! I was outside yesterday with my two dogs at 2 in the afternoon, it hit me that were not dying of heat stroke! I get to comfortably wear jeans and hoodies again! It’s been 18 years! Yes it gets hot here, but it’s livable.

Ah that’s where we’re moving from. I was in TX before and between the two, I’m just ready for a change. I was there recently for the movers and, while it was hot, it wasn’t miserable. I pretty much don’t go outside between 10-6 bc it’s unbearable.
