Spend a Day at Pawleys Island

With interesting shops, great cuisine, and trees draped in Spanish moss, Pawleys Island is a step off of the beaten path and into a day of peace. A great contrast to the entire hubbub that is Myrtle Beach.

Pawleys Island is known as the oldest vacation spot on the east coast. As early as the 1700s, Rice Planters would bring their families to spend summers in Pawleys. At this time it was due more to necessity than pleasure, the planters had found the seashore to be a healthier haven in the heat than by the rivers where the plantations were located. The Island even has it's own civil war ghost, the Greyman, who has been warning of bad weather for over a hundred years. Rich in history, simple virtues and lack of pretense, there's just good energy in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.



If you are a true shopper, Pawleys Island is home to the nationally known Hammock Shops Village. This Village grew up around the Hammock shop that produces finely crafted hammocks that people are finding a peace of Pawleys in on sunny days all across the nation.

The Myrtle Beach Resort, located on the south side of Myrtle Beach near Surfside Beach, is an easy and scenic drive to Pawleys Island. The spring months while still a bit chilly in the water affords great accommodation rates and the perfect weather for strolling around our peaceful and beautiful Pawleys Island.
