Things To Do
Welcome to “Little Charleston”
Often called “Little Charleston,” Georgetown is home to more than 50 historic homes in and around its downtown district, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. All are within an easy stroll of the Harbor Walk, where visitors discover delightful shops and award-winning restaurants.
Located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers, Georgetown is the second-largest seaport in South Carolina and was once the commercial center of an indigo- and rice-producing area. It gained additional fame in recent years as the birthplace of Fraser Robinson, the grandfather of former First Lady Michelle Obama.
