The Most Criminally Overlooked City In South Carolina And Why You Need To Visit

South Carolina is a vacationer’s paradise. We really do have it all with gorgeous mountain ranges and stunning coastlines that people (including natives) flock to in droves. But sometimes it seems the big budget cities get all the love, when there are so many smaller cities and towns in the Palmetto State that are perfect spots to visit or take a vacation.

The most overlooked city in South Carolina is nestled between two of the state’s most popular vacation destinations. And while both Charleston and Myrtle Beach offer fantastic options for travelers, any trip to to the Lowcountry of South Carolina that doesn’t include a stop in this charming city seems almost criminal. It has so much to offer in the way of things to do and places to stay and eat, plus it has a history almost as long as Charleston. Take a look:

Georgetown is South Carolina's third oldest city.

Established in 1729, this historic city is as charming as Charleston and Beaufort, the two settlements established before this one.

Georgetown is both picturesque and charming.
TripAdvisor/Rachel C
The historic downtown is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The streets are dotted with historic buildings, mature trees and an attractive updated inviting streetscape.
Historic Front Street is lined with shops and restaurants and other interesting things.

Are you into antiques? Georgetown is the perfect spot for antiquing! More in to boats? Then visit the Maritime Museum (shown above) to get a feel for the history of boating/fishing in this old city. Georgetown is one of the oldest fishing villages that remain relatively untouched in the Palmetto State. More on that here.
The Kaminiski House Museum is also on Front Street.

It's located on a bluff overlooking the Sampit River, yet right in town.

There's much to see and do in Georgetown and its small size means most things are within walking distance.

The Harborwalk offers a riverside center of commerce featuring restaurants, shops and boat tours. Conveniently, it's located right behind the main street in town (Front Street).

Take a boat tour out to see the lighthouses of Georgetown.

Love exploring old plantations of the South?
TripAdvisor/etntripper
Hopsesee Plantation in Georgetown was built in 1735 and was the birthplace of Thomas Lynch, Jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It's open for tours from the celler to the attic. More info on that here.
Overnight stays in Georgetown are one-of-a-kind.

Historic Mansfield Plantation, circa 1718, is an historic bed and breakfast in Georgetown.
This unique B&B offers the chance for you to stay in the original kitchen house, or the historic school house.
TripAdvisor/Anna O
There's much to see and do, plus there are several original buildings to explore on this 1000+ acre plantation - right in Georgetown. More information is available in this article we published in 2016.
Historic Georgetown, South Carolina is a picturesque, fun and family-friendly spot in the Carolinas.
TripAdvisor/wcstory
From the famous Harborwalk to the historic churches, plantations and lighthouses in Georgetown, it's easy to see why this overlooked city in South Carolina should be on your bucket list in 2017.
