Quiet, upscale and less commercial than the central Strand, Litchfield Beach has been a low-key beach town since 1978 and takes its name from an 18th-century rice plantation. Pair the beach with kayaking, paddleboarding and birdwatching, or a ride on the 26-mile Waccamaw Neck Bikeway. Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park are minutes away.
