Community Happenings and Annual Events

The Hammock Coast hosts a wide selection of annual events embracing the spirit, beauty, and character of the coastal region from Murrells Inlet to Pawleys Island to Georgetown.

Another beloved event is The Wooden Boat Show staged each year on historic Front Street in Georgetown, attracting boat crafters and enthusiasts from far and wide.
