Waccamaw River - Prince Creek

Location: Waccamaw River
Mile Marker: Mile 380.4
Lat / Lon: N 33° 36.367' / W 079° 05.200'
Depth: 10-30 Feet
Description:
The north and south entrances both have approximately 15-foot depths, but neither end offers protection from ICW wash. The lower end is wide enough to warrant only one anchor, but you may need two at the upper end or narrower parts.
Quiet spot, off-the-beaten path from which to marvel at wildlife. We saw gators and plenty of birds—even a swallowtail kite. Strong current here that will keep you to center of the river, but make sure there's plenty of room around you to swing. I don't recall the current reversing here, but it stands to reason that it does. This is a place to commune with nature and admire a brilliant sky full of stars, you're not going to go ashore from here and walk the dog or find a Walmart.

Beautiful and very well protected. Easy to enter and exit. Depths are 18-35’. 100’ of chain was just right to keep us away from the shore a tidal swing which is very easy going. Occasional bass boat goes by during the day. Sights and sounds are amazing! Great place to explore by dinghy.
