Georgetown SC "Little Charlestown"

Georgetown South Carolina, known locally as "Little Charlestown" is approximately thirty miles south of downtown Myrtle Beach. It's a great place for history buffs, shoppers and nature lovers.

There are a variety of ways to experience Georgetown and two of the favorites are by foot or by boat tour. Visit the old rice plantations dating back before the civil war and tour southern mansions.

 

A great source for help planning your trip to Georgetown is Cap'n Rods Lowcountry Plantation Tours.

The Plantation River Tour provides a peaceful ride past plantation mansions, abandoned rice fields and giant oak trees draped in Spanish moss. The Lighthouse Shell Island Tour carries guests to an unspoiled barrier island where you can visit the lighthouse, bird watch and collect seashells. The Ghost Story and Harbor Tour is a cool evening, sunset tour. This is when the ghosts of the lowcounty are most likely to make an appearance.

Another popular option for exploring the Georgetown Lowcountry is Rover Tours. This is a sailing tour most noted for an opportunity to relive the days of pirates on the southeastern shoreline.

While visiting Georgetown, you will want to stroll the Harborwalk where you can discover art galleries, shops and boutiques as well as an eclectic assortment of fine dining fare. The Harborwalk, a waterfront walkway overlooking the Sampit River Harbor, travels between two of Georgetown's most historically significant buildings, the Kaminski House and the Rice Museum (originally the Old Market Building).

If you are planning a visit to Myrtle Beach, consider an interesting contrast to the hustle and bustle of rides and shows, and take a relaxing day trip to Georgetown, South Carolina. For great accommodations situated on the oceanfront between the two destinations, visit The Myrtle Beach Resort.
