Headed to Georgetown SC June 12th and would like recommendations on the best marina to stay overnight as we have not stopped there before. We would like to walk to a local restaurant/bar and see anything of special interest along the way.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Georgetown SC Marinas
Was just there 10 days ago. First choice is Harborwalk Marina; second choice is Hazzard Marine. Good water is close aboard the docks. Harborwalk is in the middle of everything. Having not been to Georgetown since the fire, I was very impressed with the town. You can walk and walk in the adjacent neighborhoods, and there are lots of dining options. Grocery stores are not close. Shrimp boats are right there. Also found marina and locals very pet friendly.

Not quite Georgetown SC, but last time through there the Admiral and I stopped at Leland Oil Co. It's a bit further south. Folks were nice, walk through town was perfect, assuming you like VERY quiet and LOTS of laid back.

Re: Georgetown SC Marinas
McClellanville is a must fuel stop. But what little is there opens Thursdays.

Re: Georgetown SC Marinas
I just came up from Palmetto, FL to Myrtle Beach with a 51’ Ocean Alexander and stayed at Harborwalk. It’s a great spot that’s within walking distance of pretty much anything you want. Had a great meal at a little restaurant just a short walk from the marina in town, but the name escapes me at the moment. Just walk towards town and go left.
As for fuel, Osprey Marina usually has great fuel prices, but Grand Dunes in Myrtle was cheaper. We got fuel for around $2.80 with a volume discount with only around 300 gallons as I recall. I didn’t check prices in McClellanville but I did find the bottom with a 4’ draft. Just a little bump, but don’t go through there at low tide. We were about half on a falling tide.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: Georgetown SC Marinas
Ill have to disagree based on cruise earlier this month. Follows is text to friend who was a week behind me and avoided the area on trip south: “I took a few notes on the McClellanville approach, but that's a waste of time. Skinniest I saw from R38 to turn in was 5.6' below keel. This was 2 hrs before high tide. Worst water was behind Sullivan's island up past the Ben Sawyer Bridge. About 2' under just past low tide. Nice ride.” I used the ACOE survey. Fuel at Leland was $2.40 over 100 G with check; otherwise $2.65.

Re: Georgetown SC Marinas
Uh, that was the second time in the past couple of months I came through there (first was with a 53MY), but I'm still trying to understand your point and with what you are disagreeing. There is a big difference between bumping the bottom and grounding. The owner didn't want to run outside, nor did he want to leave Charleston earlier to avoid the potential of polishing the props.
Seems I recall you sending PM's and asking me for depth reports in that area during January of last year when I moved a 46C from Hilton Head to just below Annapolis. It's known for shoaling, and trying to go through there with a 67 at low tide would NOT be a good idea.
My only other point had to do with what I paid for fuel, so is that what you're disagreeing with?Randy Register - Kingston, TN
