Situated on the edge of Winyah Bay lies the South Carolina city of Georgetown. The city, also known as “Little Charleston”, was founded in 1729 and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Georgetown has seen its fair share of history as it was the home to numerous Native American tribes and was an important spot during the Civil War due to its strategic location. Today, Georgetown is sought-after for its charming buildings quaint shops, history museums, and numerous cafes. Because of this, it’s considered to be one of the best small coastal towns in the country. Check out the Georgetown Wooden Boat Show in October.
