South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
Day trips are like mini-vacations. They are less costly than a full vacation and you don’t even have to burn vacation time for them! They are a great self-care option, which is perhaps more important to do than ever before. So when you’re ready for your next day trip, keep the small town of Walhalla in mind, a walkable town in South Carolina with charming places to shop and eat. We’ll be walking along East Main Street in Walhalla for this adventure.
Mountain Mocha
Mountain Mocha, 208 E Main St, Walhalla, SC 29691, USA
Once you arrive in Walhalla, head to Mountain Mocha, a locally-owned coffee house and sweet shop, for coffee and a bite to eat. You may want to double back at a later time for some ice cream, too!
