The Intracoastal Christmas Regatta is always scheduled for the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Decorated boats parade from Tilghman Point, through the historic Little River Waterfront, on South to Dock Holidays Marina, located at 13th Avenue North, in North Myrtle Beach. The regatta begins at 5:00pm and concludes at approximately 7:00pm. The entry fee for participating boats is $30.00. The Grand Prize is $1000.00 and there is a cash prize for the winner of each division. Boats are scored for theme, originality, crew enthusiasm and decorations by a panel of judges.

Regatta viewers are asked to contribute new unwrapped toys or monetary donations at the viewing sights, which include the Waterfront and Cricket Cove in Little River.

Sites on the waterway in North Myrtle Beach include areas near the swing bridge, under the big ICW bridge, Poo's, Filets at Harbourgate Marina and Dynamite's at Dock Holidays Marina .

Monetary proceeds from the regatta are equally divided and presented to the local schools.  We rely upon the counselors to determine the needs of the  less fortunate children in Horry County. Money is raised through donations, participation fees, sweatshirt sales, corporate sponsorships and the Regatta Dinner which is held the night before the regatta.
