We used to live in Little River and can vouch for the quality of life that it provides. Traffic is lighter, the pace is slower, and the people are friendly. You have to try the Best Pancake House for breakfast, Pat & Mike’s for lunch, and Brentwood for dinner (it is a converted Victorian home). Little River is the northern-most town on the Grand Strand in SC, and is best known as a fishing village. The real estate is extremely affordable and from its location you can get anywhere you want to go quickly.
North Myrtle Beach Online says, “”Quaint” is how people in Little River like to describe their community – but don’t misunderstand. Little River is a thriving and bustling community reflecting and sometimes leading the pace of the surrounding communities.
Walking around Little River, the visitors see a place where ancient live oaks, draped with Spanish moss, encircle unique shops and shelter fishing harbors along the waterfront. Many of the harbors have been in continuous operation since these ancient oaks were acorns. Once a prosperous port in the 1850′s, fishing and shrimp boats still depart daily and return with their fresh cargo for local restaurants and fish wholesalers. Their catch provide fresh seafood to the entire “Grand Strand” area. In addition to shrimp, working boats bring in the world famous Little River blue crabs and such favorites as flounder, sea bass, grouper and snapper. For the sports fisherman, trips to the Gulf Stream can bring catches of tuna and marlin.
The steady pace of commerce on the waterway provides a fascinating view from the many restaurants located on or near the harbors. In the fall, luxurious yachts make their way south to winter in Florida, the Caribbean and other points. In the spring, the yacht-migration north provides a rare glimpse of the seasonal cycle of life that many of the prosperous follow.
Marinas abound through out the Little River area, taking advantage of the easy access from the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. Private yachts, graceful sailboats and a diversity of powerboats plying the waterway add to the appeal of the community. It it really the best combination of tranquility when you want it and excitement when you desire it. Use us as home-base to visit neighboring communities for all they also offer – great beach accesses, entertainment and beautiful vistas. Plan to visit us year round but especially in the Spring.
Each Spring for the past 24 years, Little River is home to the world famous Blue Crab Festival. From its beginnings almost a quarter of a century ago with sparse attendance, over 30,000 people now attend this two day event for entertainment, world class food, see and purchase the crafts of over 200 vendors and, of course, feast on blue crabs. The uniqueness of the festival comes from its very picturesque setting, the blue crabs and its ability to draw crafters and artists from throughout the United States.”
