COMMUNITY TOUR

Little River: Fishing Village Vibes

On the north end of the Grand Strand, the fishing community of Little River is the oldest of the 14 communities. It’s one of the few places left where life moves slowly, offering a relaxing, laid-back destination. Deep-sea fishing charters leave at sunrise, taking anglers to some of the best fishing spots on the coast. Shorter fishing and party boat cruises are also available, and if you’re feeling lucky, take an evening trip on a casino boat. Enjoy fresh seafood that comes off fishing boats throughout the day and is served up at many quality restaurants.
