10 Hotels In & Around Little River
Discover a little local history and a whole lot of fun in the seaside village of Little River, South Carolina. Located on the state border just a stone’s throw from Calabash, North Carolina, Little River offers peace and tranquility on the waterfront and excitement on the Intracoastal Waterway. Salt-life lovers can catch a boat, jet ski, kayak and other watercraft to explore the Waterway all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, while landlubbers can enjoy the restaurants, shops and bars along the main drags of Kings Highway and Mineola Avenue. Fishing charters sail out of port at sunrise and return with loads of fresh catches for the seafood restaurants (Crab Catcher’s, Snooky’s) and bars on the waterfront. On the inland side of town, there are excellent restaurants (Clark’s, Capt. Archies) and shops, golf courses (Tidewater, Glen Dornoch, River Hills) and attractions (La Belle Amie Vineyard, The Big M Casino).
