Visitor Services

Over the centuries, Georgetown County has served its visitors well and that caring attitude is still just as true today. Commuters arrive by car, by air via our airport capable of handing light jet traffic, and by boat at one of our many full-service marinas on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Once here, you'll find that getting the services you need is quite convenient. Car rentals, banks, churches, health clubs, kennels and a host of other services are waiting to serve you.

This year marks Georgetown County's first entry into the contest, a field that initially had 800 entries from communities nationwide.

In winning this acknowledgment, Georgetown County is being recognized for its commitment to providing quality public health care, promoting community service, and developing a long-range plan for the county's growth and future prosperity.

It has become a popular destination for visitors and tourists, who flock to the many golf courses, waterways and historical sites. But these treasures are not what make Georgetown County an All-America City. The sense of pride among Georgetown residents comes from something even more valuable than beauty and attractions: a commitment to quality of life for all citizens.
