One of South Carolina’s first port cities
Georgetown is known for its history, industry and the scenery of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Like its larger neighbor, Charleston, this small city of 8,400 people was founded over 200 years ago as a port town. Manufacturing and machinery now support the area, but some long-running industries face difficulties. The International Paper Company, one of the city’s biggest employers since 1936, closed in 2024 and cost the community over 800 jobs. As these established industries change, tourism remains steady as visitors come to the port town to boat on rivers, explore museums and sample fresh seafood. “Georgetown is an old girl coming into her own, and she’s finding a way to reinvent herself,” says Suzanne Temple, who has worked in the region for over a decade as the owner of TideLife Vacation Rentals and is a Realtor with Re/Max Executive. “We have old homes, old oak trees, it’s a small town feel that’s really trying to stay relevant.”

Historic family homes and vacation rentals across Georgetown
While neighboring Pawleys Island is known for its vacation homes, Georgetown has more primary residences. Restored historic homes from the 18th century are consistently in demand, Temple says. The city also has private communities like DeBordieu Colony, South Island Plantation and Harbor Club, which have family homes and rental properties. The median home price is just under $380,000, lower than in Murrells Inlet and Charleston.

Food, museums and the Harborwalk on Front Street
In just one block of Front Street in downtown historic Georgetown, tourists and locals can find sushi at Rollin Local, Southern comfort food at Aunny’s Country Kitchen, Seafood at Between the Antlers and fine dining at Root. “When you walk into some of these restaurants, you see little old ladies or guys who work for the electric plant having lunch at the same time,” Temple says. The street also has many of Georgetown’s historic sites and museums, including the Rice Museum, Gullah Museum and Kaminski House. The Harborwalk, a riverfront boardwalk, runs beside Front Street for four blocks and is a favorite place for visitors to watch the sunset. While Front Street has boutique shops selling clothes, housewares and souvenirs, it's Georgetown Plaza, on the other side of the city, where locals go for chains and grocery stores.

The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show
Georgetown’s biggest event, the Wooden Boat Show, celebrates its nautical history. On the third weekend of October, guests from across the country come to the city to admire the over 100 wooden rowboats, yachts and canoes that fill the land and water around historic Georgetown. Visitors can also enter competitions to build their own boats and sail on the Sampit River.
Boating and fishing on the Waccamaw River
The Waccamaw, Sampit, Black and Great Pee Dee rivers run through or run next to Georgetown, and each river is open for boating and fishing. East Bay Park and Morgan Park border the Great Pee Dee River adjacent to Front Street. These parks have tennis courts, boat ramps and views of the marshlands and native live oaks. Just over Waccamaw River Bridge, Hobcaw Barony is a former plantation turned nature preserve and living museum.

The Lowcountry is humid and rainy most of the year, with summer peaking in heat and humidity. Winters are generally mild, with occasional freezing temperatures. The region has a history of floods, high winds and hurricanes. Hurricane Ian made landfall near Georgetown in 2022, flooding some parts of the area. According to the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, Georgetown had the fifth-lowest property crime rate in the state in 2023. The city also had a 27% decrease in violent crime that year.
