2-Star Hotels in Little River, SC

Just north of Myrtle Beach, Little River offers a quieter, more authentic taste of the South Carolina coast. The main draw is its working waterfront, where you can watch the shrimp boats come in and charter a fishing trip for king mackerel or red snapper. Spend an afternoon at the historic Little River Waterfront, browsing the fish markets and enjoying fresh oysters at a dockside restaurant. It’s also the gateway to the Intracoastal Waterway, making it a prime spot for boaters and a relaxed alternative to the busier resort strips nearby.

This is a great base for couples and families who want easy access to both relaxation and activity. Staying near the waterfront puts you in the heart of the local scene, while properties just off Highway 17 provide quick routes to the beaches and attractions of North Myrtle Beach. You’ll need a car to get around comfortably, as public transport is limited, but the regional airport is only about a 30-minute drive away. It suits travelers looking for a genuine coastal town feel rather than a high-energy vacation hub.

Accommodation here is mostly straightforward, comfortable hotels and a few waterfront inns, with a focus on good value. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the clean and reliable Sleep Inn Little River, the convenient Comfort Suites Little River, and the casual, marina-adjacent Sunset Inn. These properties reflect the area’s practical charm, offering easy access to the docks and a peaceful night's sleep.
