Historic Georgetown, hidden by busy HWY 17 between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, has just been discovered by travelers in the last few years. Georgetown was established as a colonial seaport in the early 1700s. The area has homes that were built as early as 1737 to new construction. New construction is restricted due to limited residential lots which keeps Georgetown village like. The history is the greatest natural resource and renews itself over and over. The small town has a feeling of earlier times and residents are able to walk or golf cart to restaurants, boutiques, museums, churches, and parks. There are 5 marinas which can accommodate boats of all sizes. Five rivers converge to form Winyah Bay offering fresh and saltwater fishing, skiing, sailing, and beauty unmatched. Come visit and stay.
