Georgetown, SC is one of the oldest European settlements in America, with it Front Street lined with a rainbow of restaurants and shops. You can stroll along the boardwalk on the same harbor where the Marquis de Lafayette came ashore to aid a beleaguered George Washington and the fledgling American nation. Georgetown’s large historic district, on the National Register of Historic Places, offers 50 beautifully preserved buildings and gardened homes shaded by Spanish moss-cloaked, centuries-old live oaks. Much of the area’s famous seafood slept only last night in the Winyah Bay, a salt-water estuary just south of Georgetown bounded by wild lands home to waterfowl, otter and deer – a gigantic nursery for delectable flounder, red fish and shrimp.
