| Georgetown Fishing Fleet |
The oak canopied streets of Georgetown are among the most peaceful places in the Grand Strand area. It wasn't always such a tranquil town. For over a hundred years after its founding in 1729, the port was busy shipping the rice and indigo grown on the nearby plantations. When the crops dried up, so too did the town.
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.
