This year’s Coastal Drive will take place March 6-8. The driving will not involve any high-G hairpins or blind, off-camber, decreasing radii. Instead, we’ll be cruising through the South Carolina Low Country. Register right away via the JotForm link below.
Please note that we have not arranged for any group room blocks this time. Everyone must make their own reservations using the links in the form below. We also do not have prepaid contracts with any of the restaurants. You must pay for your own consumption at the time of service. We make commitments to the restaurants based on the headcount from registration and would like to limit changes to those absolutely necessary.
We begin by meeting up in Savannah on Friday, March 6 for Happy Hour at Electric Moon Skytop Lounge, followed by dinner at The Grove Savannah and an evening on River Street. We’ll spend the night at the Hyatt Regency Savannah, right on Bay Street.
Saturday, March 7, we begin our drive up the coast, more or less following US-17 and the best local roads we have found. We will stop for lunch at Saltus River Grill in Beaufort, SC, followed by a Colonial history tour on foot. Additional stops for some local edutainment will be built into the final route, and the drive will end in Charleston, SC. Here, we’ll check into the Charleston Harbor Resort. We encourage everyone to buddy up and drive as few cars as possible back to Old Charleston for another history walk and Happy Hour at The Peacock. We’re going to celebrate the end of a great day with good friends and go to dinner together at Poogan’s Porch. Hopefully, you’ll be up for exploring more of this charming old city before heading back to the Resort.
The optional program on Sunday, March 8 begins with brunch at Saltwater Cowboys. Afterward, you may want to linger in Charleston or go ahead and drive home. Or, of course, you can head out first thing in the morning. It’s roughly a 4 1/2 hour drive back to Metro Atlanta.
