Note: See Time Magazine‘s article about South of the Border where it was voted one of the top 50 roadside attractions in America!
The famed South of the Border entertainment complex is located in Hamer, South Carolina, just off I-95 and a stone’s throw away from the North-South Carolina state line. Founded as little more than a beer stand in 1949 by Alan Schafer, South of the Border eventually grew into a large park. The “Mexican” theme originated when Schafer started selling Mexican trinkets after returning from a trip to Mexico. Read the Dillon County article of SCIWAY News, October 2008 issue.

Stopped there years ago when my grandparents took us to Florida in the late 60′s. Got to finally return there 2 years ago when my wife and I were on our way to Hilton Head. Not very clean, food not very good, and the gifts are a little tacky but it was a great nostalgic visit. Hope to stop there again in October.

This place is a history icon. My mother would stop there with me and my brother when we were growing up, then I took my girls while growing up, now my daughter takes her daughter there. This is a family tradition.

This place is awesome. I always looked forward to stopping there when I was a kid, and love its history as a grown up.

I love going North & South on I95 looking for the signs. We tried counting them, but that didn’t work out too well. Does anybody know how many there are?

Loved to stop here when my late husband and I were trucking in the area!
