Horry County parks ↗Little River at a glance
Little River, South Carolina, is an unincorporated Horry County community on the Intracoastal Waterway near the North Carolina line. It has no town government, so Horry County provides local services. County planners note that European settlement concentrated here by the early 1700s, helped by the colonial King's Highway, and a segment of that road survives at Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens, a county park with about 3 miles of trails and boardwalks along the waterway. The historic Little River Waterfront hosts the chamber's Blue Crab Festival, first held in 1981. For homebuyers, Little River listings and mailing addresses reach beyond the Census-defined community, so compare homes on the map and check each address for flood designation, estimated taxes and school assignment.
