Coast Guard Station Georgetown

Coast Guard Station Georgetown, located in Georgetown, South Carolina, traces its origins back to the early 20th century, serving as a critical life-saving and maritime safety outpost along the state's coastline. Throughout World War II, the station played a pivotal role in coastal defense and anti-submarine patrols during heightened threats in the Atlantic. In the decades following the war, Coast Guard Station Georgetown has focused on search and rescue operations, law enforcement, environmental protection, and maintaining aids to navigation for commercial and recreational vessels. Today, the station continues its proud tradition of safeguarding the waterways and supporting the local maritime community along the Grand Strand and Winyah Bay.
