Little River, South Carolina

Population: 3,470

Located in Horry County

The town of Little River South Carolina is a very special place. Known for its fresh seafood, fishing charters, annual blue crab festival and historic live oak trees, Little River is one of the last communities on the Grand Strand where a slower pace of life still exists.

Little River is a few minutes north of the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach, so residents and visitors alike share a quieter, more peaceful time in this quaint fishing village.

Yet Little River is conveniently close enough to all the area's attractions, signature golf courses, unique variety shows, shopping outlets and entertainment so the Grand Strand's entire splendor is within a few moments drive. In addition, with the Las-Vegas-style casino, gambling boats now docked in Little River, locals and tourists flock to the waterfront twice a day, every day, for excellent gambling excursions into international waters.

For those who love to play in the waterway instead of fish, there are Jet Ski rentals at the waterfront as well as dock space and boat rentals at Crickett Cove and Coquina Harbor marinas. Little River has been home to anglers for generations... and for good reason. Some of the largest and most prized fish can be caught off the coast of South Carolina. The local anglers work year-round --- in the winters, they sell their catches to various restaurants and wholesale shippers. In warmer weather, they charter parties and help their guests haul in large catches, who usually take the fish home to their families. The most common fish caught during these trips is black sea bass, snapper, grouper, larger sea bass, trigger, dolphin, Wahoo, and king.
