What to do and see in Georgetown, South Carolina (SC): The Best Fishing Charters & Tours

July 5, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Brimming with historical attractions, boutique shops, antebellum mansions, restaurants, art galleries and antique shops, historic Georgetown offers a delightful escape from daily modern life. The oak-lined avenues of Georgetown, dubbed “little Charleston”, are alive with history and small town commerce. If you’ve ever wanted to see antebellum mansions, Georgetown is the place for you. There are an amazing 50-plus antebellum mansions in the area. One of the best ways to see Georgetown is by boat. Take a tour in and around Winyah Bay and the surrounding rivers and you’ll pass plantation mansions and long-abandoned rice fields. Two of the most visited plantations are Hopsewee Plantation and the Hampton Plantation State Historic Site. High on your list of local don’t miss attractions should be the Kaminski House Museum, the stately former home of a Confederate sea captain, and The Rice Museum, which details the history of this important crop through dioramas, maps, artifacts and other exhibits. Other popular activities in the Georgetown area include golf, sailing charters, eco-tours, shell collecting, deep-sea fishing and beach activities at nearby beaches. If you want to tee up, try Wedgefield Plantation Golf Club and Heritage Club, which are less than 10 minutes from Georgetown. Once you’ve geared down and de-stressed in slower paced Georgetown, you’ll have easy access to two dynamic destinations, Myrtle Beach, 36 miles away, and Charleston, 60 miles away. Myrtle Beach, known as America’s Great Golf Vacation Destination, offers more than 100 golf courses, 1,600 restaurants, shopping complexes, amusement parks and live entertainment theaters. Charleston, which is loaded with museums, Civil War sites and plantation homes and gardens, also has superb golf offerings highlighted by the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort.

Kingfisher Guide Service

For the majority of the year Kingfisher Guide Service is located in Georgetown S.C. which offers complete access to 1200 acres of the protected Winyah Bay Estuary. The bay is a prime fishing site due to the confluence of the Pee Dee, Black, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers. As the estuary with the third largest watershed on the east coast, Winyay Bay reserve resourses range from tidal and transitional marshes to oyster reefs, beaches, and inter-tidal flats. Teeming with wildlife, the marshes around Georgetown offer year round fishing and tremendous opportunities to sight-fish for “uneducated” redfish and more. ​
