Little River, SC — ICW & Marina District, Northern Horry County

Hurricane Shutters for Little River, SC

Little River is northern Horry County’s ICW waterfront community — a tidal basin, marina district, and casino boat corridor where the salt and brackish humidity from the tidal exchange through Little River Inlet creates one of the most corrosive hardware environments in the entire Grand Strand service area. AHS specifies marine-grade stainless hardware on every Little River installation.
