Georgetown

Here is a pleasant little coastal town. Northeast of Charleston, it makes a nice day trip for anyone staying there. This is the third oldest city in South Carolina (after Charleston and Beaufort), dating from 1729. It has been a bustling port ever since.

The major local crops used to be rice and indigo, but they are no longer profitable. Today, lumber, paper, and tourism have been mainstays of the economy.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Charming, historic coastal town
  • In a nutshell:A good day trip from Charleston
  • Last visit to Georgetown: Apr 1992
