Georgetown Cleanup and Restoration

A town in South Carolina once visited by George Washington and the Marquis de La Fayette, this charming and historic gem sits on the Winyah Bay at the convergence of the Great Pee Dee and Waccamaw Rivers. The third oldest town in South Carolina, this small community rivals any in the United States for its' historic significance in the founding of our county.

Once the richest town in colonial America die to its' booming rice trade, the town fell on hard times after the Civil War. However, Georgetown is currently undergoing a renaissance as is the rest of the South Carolina Coast with tourists from across the nation discovering the unrivaled beauty and mild climate that this area has to offer. Made for outdoor activities, the numerous rivers, marshes, bays, and the Atlantic Ocean attract lovers of boating, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and canoeing, not to mention experiences for those who just want to take in the beautiful environment loaded with wild life including herons, cranes, geese, and other water fowl.

Brimming with history, festivals, food, and fun, this exceptional community has an outsized footprint that attracts locals and tourists alike. The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show held annually in October, is just one example of the unique activities the town has to offer.

For those more interested in history and a chance to step back in time, a visit to one of the beautifully restored rice plantations such as The Hampton, Hopsewee, Brookgreen Green Gardens and Hobcaw Barony is well worth the trip.

Accommodations are plentiful for such a small town, including many quaint bed and breakfast rentals, waterfront hotels, and the opportunity to spend the night at a local plantation. Dining is excellent with lots of local produce and fresh seafood on the menu.

In all, Georgetown is a picturesque small town water front community, slightly off the beaten path with lots to offer those who want to discover the unique treasures it has to offer.
