Although not on the Grand Strand proper, the town of Little River is generally regarded as the northern limit of the area, just as Georgetown marks the southern end.
The town's protected location on the mainland gave it status as a fishing village when Myrtle Beach was nothing but sand and bushes. George Washington stayed the night here in 1792, but rode right past what is now Myrtle Beach. Little River hosts a smaller portion of overnight Grand Strand visitors nowadays, but it still manages to attract attention with its good restaurants, fishing, and golf.
