About the US-21 Scenic Highway
This portion of US 21 was designated by Act 73 of 1979 as simply "a scenic highway." It has sometimes been referred to as the Sea Island Scenic Highway.
This 19 mile byway scores high for its intrinsic scenic qualities. It is characterized by expansive vistas and natural beauty. The Hunting Island State Park, located at the end of the route, is one of South Carolina's best seaside preserves and it is home to a lovely light house.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
