Little River Inlet
Little River Inlet sits right on the North Carolina–South Carolina border, giving you a natural gateway anchorage between the two states with decent protection and easy access to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The inlet has a wild, coastal edge to it — think tidal marshes, shifting sandbars, and the kind of quiet that comes from being just far enough off the tourist radar. Drop the hook here and you're a short hop from the laid-back town of Little River, SC, known for its fishing scene and waterfront seafood spots.
