Fashionable Places the Locals Love in Litchfield

Litchfield can be a welcome contrast to busier spots on the coast.

But don’t let it fool you — there’s plenty of fun and adventure in this part of the Carolina coast, too. And who better to tell you what’s what than locals. (It must be awesome to live here, right?)

Here are places those lucky enough to call this place home love.

Tips on Living Like a Local When You’re on Vacation

There are ways to deal with everyday life here — even if life here is a week’s vacation or weekend getaway.

  1. Shop the local grocery store

You’ll get a sense of what’s on the dinner table around here. You’re likely to see brands you don’t have back home. Pick ingredients for a good locally-inspired meal to make back at the resort!

  1. Find ways to connect

Make a friend or two the same way you would back home — by striking up conversations. Ask about the four Fs: Faith, family, food, and fun.

  1. Remember that it isn’t easy

Especially if it’s a weekend getaway, it’s tough to get it all down. A good balance of your own likes and preferences, with input from locals, can make for a great getaway.
