One Of The Best Drive-In Theaters Across America Is Hwy 21 Drive-In Here In South Carolina
Ever been to a drive-in movie? There’s nothing quite like this pairing of outdoor entertainment and the cozy feel of the comfort of your own vehicle while you throw back some popcorn and watch a good flick on the big screen. Recently, the publisher mentalfloss took on the challenge of ranking the best drive-in theater in all 50 states and guess what? It probably comes as no surprise which one takes top honors in South Carolina…

There are only a handful of drive-ins still open in the Palmetto State, but Hwy 21 Drive-In in Beaufort is the best around.
Folks arrive early and can pick and choose the perfect space. If you have a pickup, then by all means, dress it out for maximum comfort and watch the movies under the stars.
That's right... movies — as in more than one. Every night that Hwy 21 Drive-in is open, visitors get two movies for the price of one and with two screens, that means four movies and you can choose the pair that you want.
In the DBC (our new shorthand for Days Before Covid-19), a trip or two to the concessions stand always meant goodies for all. But alas, things have changed in 2020 - and for the better!
And by all means, plan to eat dinner here! The menu is extensive and the food gets rave reviews from patrons. If you're craving some traditional movie popcorn, you can always order that for the second movie in this double feature.
When you place your order, you'll give your mobile phone number so you can be notified and located when the food is ready. Easy, peasy, right?
Due to the pandemic, a number of major motion pictures that were scheduled for release this summer have been delayed. However, Hwy 21 Drive-In is showing top-notch classic movies, recent movies, and even concerts.
We love the small-town feel of this long-standing drive-in and couldn’t agree more that it deserves to be on the list of 50 best drive-ins in America! Have you visited Hwy 21 Drive-In in Beaufort before? Give them your thumbs-up nod with a review in our discussion!
Hwy 21 Drive-In is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It’s open year-round. The first movies start at 7 p.m. Learn more from the official website for Hwy 21 Drive-In and stay on top of current movies by following the Facebook page.
