Little River — on the NC & SC line
** Remember in NC when you ride a motorcycle there is a NC Helmet Law.
The town of Little River is generally regarded as the northern limit of “The Grand Strand”.
The town’s protected location on the mainland gave it status as a fishing village when Myrtle Beach was nothing but sand and bushes. George Washington stayed the night here in 1792, but rode right past what is now Myrtle Beach. Little River hosts a smaller portion of overnight Grand Strand visitors nowadays, but it still manages to attract attention with its good restaurants, sport fishing, fresh seafood, and golf.

Litchfield Beach SC
Litchfield Beach is an upscale community that sprang from the mind of a real estate developer. The one-time collection of plantations is now a resort, designed to appeal to vacationers and retirees through a blend of history, golf and beaches. The resort offers a variety of vacation options, from high-rise condo to family beach house, plus all the amenities you would expect.
Pawleys Island SC
Pawleys Island claims to be the oldest resort area in America. This area was home to some of the most affluent planters on the continent. They didn’t grow tobacco, or even cotton. Rice and indigo (used for a blue dye) were the crops of choice. To escape the heat and malaria of their mainland plantations, many moved their families to cottages on Pawleys Island for the summer.
Remarkably, some of the cottages are still standing and still in use. Nine of them comprise the Pawleys Island “Historic District”. The rest of the narrow island barely keeps some 600 houses out of the water.
Georgetown SC
The beautiful oak canopied streets of Georgetown are among the most peaceful places in the Grand Strand area. A majority of these old oaks have what is called “Tree Moss” growing and hanging from them. Georgetown was formed in 1729. For over a hundred years after its founding the port was busy shipping the rice and indigo grown on the nearby plantations.
Georgetown has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years. Front Street was redeveloped; bringing in restaurants, galleries, antique, and specialty shops. There’s also a walking tour taking visitors down shaded streets past scores of ante-bellum buildings. When the sun of the beach becomes too much, this is a good place to recover.
