A walk from the marina cuts through some incredibly beautiful, tree-lined historic neighborhoods filled with classic architecture.

Bryant’s Fishing Pier, located minutes away, is a dedicated, free public pier, open 24 hours a day for fishing and crabbing along the river. Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex, on River Walk Drive, is another public facility offering multiple dedicated fishing pier dock systems alongside its multi lane boat ramps. Requires a valid South Carolina Saltwater Recreational Fishing License to cast a line.

Coming down from the north, be sure to proceed to marker “W” before turning back up the Great Pee Dee River; there is a long shallow shoal off of the tip of Hobcaw Point.

Contact Nature’s Call Pump Out Service, 843-450-3523.

Current runs swiftly past the marina. Before you make your final turn to tie up, look closely at nearby channel day shapes or markers. Seeing how the water is moving lets you accurately judge the velocity and plan accordingly.

Does not permit fishing directly off its docks. While it is a premier destination for offshore sport fishing tournaments and boating, it’s a common safety policy due to heavy boat traffic, strong currents, and moving vessels.

Does not use Dockwa for reservation. Old school handled with a phone call.

Double up your dock lines and set your heaviest fenders if a front is pushing through.

East Bay Public Ramp, located down the Sampit River at East Bay Park, is another free public landing offering a solid concrete boat ramp and dock setup. Primarily used for trailered boat launches, it serves as a reliable secondary tie up option if you need to access the park facilities or nearby public restrooms.

Eddy Chacon’s of Georgetown (Seafood) (formerly Land’s End Restaurant) sits right at the base of the marina.

Exposed to south, east, and west winds.

Front Street Public Dock is located directly along the historic Harborwalk, a municipal dock offering floating dinghy dock access to step ashore to explore the historic sites, restaurants, and shops. No overnight docking is enforced.

Infastructure needs repair.

Keep deck shoes or sandals readily available if stepping off the boat, dock is not “barefoot friendly”.

Listens to VHF Channel 16, working VHF Channel 10.

Lyft and Uber is available but availability is highly unreliable. Use local taxi service: Creekside Cab Co (843-357-8444), One Taxi (843-331-6333), Pawley’s Island Rides (843-580-2228), or Skyview Cab Co (843-546-5010).

Mooring Ball alternative Harborwalk Marina (Georgetown, SC) convenient to downtown area.

No pump out available.

Rogue trap between us and our bow forward neighbor. Marina staff wouldn’t touch it.

Short bike or ride share into downtown Georgetown, SC.

Supporter of Fishing Tournaments.

Transient dock is aligned parallel to the current flow, making approach, docking, and departure very easy.

Transient and outer docks are heavily exposed to passing marine traffic. Make sure your fenders are properly aligned to handle occasional rolling from passing sport fish traffic.

Upon our arrival we had 3KN currents.

Walking distance to/from: Dollar General (0.7 miles), Food Lion (2 miles), Front St (1.2 miles), and Walmart (2.6 miles).

Weekend fishing boats passing by at speed rock the floating docks and boats.

Willing to arrange transportation to the many general stores, hardware stores, and local supermarkets.

Stay Again: Maybe
