The most popular Little River vacation event is the Blue Crab Festival, held each May. Arts and crafts, entertainment, and educational exhibits are featured alongside booths offering an assortment of delicious foods such as crab crakes, steamed crab and other dishes. You'll be calling it the best family beach vacation ever.
La Belle Amie Vineyard is located just a short drive from the Little River Waterfront. The winery regularly offers wine tastings, vineyard tours and wine and music festivals - as essential destination for any wine lover on a Little River vacation.
Because of its numerous tidal creeks and close proximity to the ocean, Little River, South Carolina was a popular harbor for pirates in the 1700s and Civil War blockade runners in the 1800s.
