HUNTING & SPORTING CLAYS
Experiencing the outdoors in
Georgetown County also consists
of hunting across acres and acres
of public and private land.
Four Wildlife Management Areas
(WMAs) are within the county’s
borders, including Samworth WMA,
Santee Coastal WMA, Santee-Delta
WMA and Wee Tee WMA. These
WMAs account for nearly 40,000
acres of managed land in and
around Georgetown County. In
portions of Horry, Georgetown
and Marion counties, the
Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge
is roughly 29,000 acres and allows
hunting seasonally.
Several shooting clubs are in
the area, providing instruction
and training for hunters of all
experience levels, as well as an
array of exciting and challenging
clay target shooting sports.

BIRDING
The Hammock Coast is the premier
destination for birdwatching on the
East Coast, according to Southern
Living magazine. Here, hundreds of
bird species can be spotted, from
eagles and woodstorks to egrets
and herons.
Huntington Beach State Park
has a 330-bird checklist with an
impressive rarities roster, including
roseate spoonbill and piping
plover. Other locations for stellar
birdwatching include Brookgreen
Gardens and Hobcaw Barony.
