South of the Border, located in Dillon, South Carolina, has been a roadside icon since 1950. This kitschy rest stop features Mexican-themed decor, colorful statues, and the towering Sombrero Tower, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. Originally a small beer stand, South of the Border has grown to include restaurants, a motel, a mini-golf course, and a large gift shop. The attraction’s humorous billboards along I-95 draw travelers from far and wide, making it a nostalgic and entertaining pit stop.
