Fishing
Fishing can be enjoyed along the Grand Strand from one of eight piers, along the beach, as well as in backwater creeks between Georgetown and Little River - where the crabbing is great, too. More serious anglers can board a head boat for bottom fishing, or charter a boat and venture all the way to the Gulf Stream - just 60 miles offshore - for true deep-sea sports fishing. |
