100. Mount Pleasant, SC WINNER
Top 100 rank: 100
Population: 68,000
This appealing town has three main things going for it: miles of beach, a moderate climate, and strong schools.
Less than 10 minutes from Charleston, Mount Pleasant is big in shrimping, though cheaper imported Asian seafood has hurt the industry.
Residents revel in community events such as the "Blessing of the Fleet" -- an annual spring festival in which everyone enjoys fresh-caught shrimp and live music. --J.S.
Is Mount Pleasant a great town, or what?
