General presentation
Georgetown and the Hammock Coast
Sculpture gardens, protected beaches and Lowcountry heritage between Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
The discovery of Georgetown and Hammock Coast is based on Hobcaw Barony, Hopsewee Plantation and Hampton Plantation. The stay thus alternates between the coast, natural areas, heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: services spaces outside cities. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Major site
Hobcaw Barony
Hobcaw Barony Protects a vast territory of forests, marshes and old plantations of Lowcountry, crossed by paths and stories. Visits articulate heritage house, African-American village of Friendfield and still wild landscape, giving a broader social reading than the simple private domain.
Culture and heritage
Hopsewee Plantation
Hopsewee Plantation is one of the few 18th-century rice houses preserved in such a legible way on Santee. Interiors, outbuildings and service buildings make tangible a complex economy, with a direct look at the historical work of the servants.
Culture and heritage
Hampton Plantation
Hampton Plantation combines a Georgian house, old oaks, clearings and traces of a rice estate built on slavery. The sometimes sober rooms allow the successive uses of the property to feel better than too heavy a decor. Around, the low and humid landscape recalls the direct link between wealth, forced labour and coastal marshes.
Culture and heritage
Georgetown Historic District
The historic district of Georgetown between Front Street and the Sampit River with ancient houses condensing centuries of shopping activity. The Harborwalk connects docks and shaded streets by revealing how rice, navigation and local history overlap in urban space.
