Georgetown, Myrtle Beach

Once the third oldest city in the American colonies, this seafaring town is comprised of 16 blocks on the Sampit River on Winyah Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Dotted with shrimp and tour boats docked along the scenic Harborwalk boardwalk, visitors can enjoy landmarks and museums such as the 1842 Old Market Building Rice Museum with exhibits and artifacts on the production of "Carolina Gold" rice that made South Carolina wealthy. Front Street has a variety of quaint gift shops, restaurants, art galleries and museums. The Visitor Center provides maps, brochures and information on tours of the city that include some of the historic homes. - Natasha Lawrence
