Ask a local, and they may well tell you Georgetown is one of the best kept secrets in South Carolina. The 3rd oldest town in the state, and brimming with history and Southern hospitality, it charms visitors with its tranquil, waterfront community appeal. Located halfway between Myrtle Beach and Charleston, the historic downtown district has plenty of Georgetown vacation rentals located on pretty tree-lined streets. Spend your days deep sea fishing for tuna and sailfish and return to the mainland to gorge on Lowcountry cuisine and freshly caught seafood. Georgetown doesn't disappoint.
Are you hoping to find top things to see and do while you're in the area? Although it can be tempting to stay in your comfortable vacation rental, you'll want to experience everything that makes Georgetown a fun place to get away. These are some of the major attractions to see, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city center:
Activities in Georgetown center around the ocean. Wake up at your waterfront Georgetown vacation rental and jump on board one of the charter boats to reel in a marlin, tuna or swordfish. You may not know it, but the coast of Georgetown is one of the best spots for scuba diving in the state. Don your flippers and mask and head down into the depths to swim around shipwrecks and artificial reefs packed with colorful marine life. If that's not your thing, back on board you can watch the dolphins jump and play in the boat's wake or pump up the adrenaline on jet skis.
The Georgetown vacation rentals are open for business all year round, though they are best booked in the summer months when the climate is hot and the cool Atlantic Ocean draws in water-seeking visitors. The summer seems to last longer in this part of the world and pushes on right through to October when the heat tapers off somewhat. Don't let this put you off. The winters months can be pleasantly warm, enough so as to allow for eating outside on many days if you wear a light sweater, and the quieter season can be wonderfully peaceful.
Just a short drive from Georgetown vacation rentals you'll find the vast Francis Marion National Forest. Bird lovers will be particularly excited by the ornithologically significant spot which is home to the highest concentration of breeding swallow-tailed kites. That's not all. The pine tree forest provides a habitat for over 350 pairs of breeding red-cockaded woodpeckers, several nesting pairs of bald eagles and other majestic birds. If you come during the winter, you may be lucky to spot some of the wood storks foraging in the park or the winter hawks which migrate here during the coldest months.
The nearest airport is in Myrtle Beach Intl. Airport (MYR), located 30.1 mi (48.4 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could also fly into North Myrtle Beach, SC (CRE-Grand Strand), which is 44.5 mi (71.7 km) away.
