Tucked away on the South Carolina coast, Pawleys Island is a destination that embodies tranquility, history, and timeless Southern charm. Known as one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast, this barrier island offers a slower pace of life where the beauty of unspoiled beaches meets rich Lowcountry culture.
A Place Where Time Slows Down
Unlike many bustling beach towns, Pawleys Island remains delightfully unhurried. The island itself is only a few miles long, with wide sandy beaches perfect for morning walks, seashell collecting, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the Atlantic waves. Visitors quickly fall into the laid-back spirit of “arrogantly shabby,” a local expression that perfectly captures Pawleys’ effortless appeal.
History and Tradition
Pawleys Island is steeped in centuries of history. Plantation owners once retreated here during the summer months to escape inland heat, and remnants of that past still linger in the form of historic homes, ghost stories, and a strong sense of heritage. Perhaps the most enduring tradition is the Pawleys Island rope hammock, handwoven since the late 1800s and now a symbol of ultimate relaxation.
Nature at Its Finest
Surrounded by tidal creeks, marshes, and barrier islands, Pawleys is a haven for nature lovers. Kayaking through the salt marsh at sunrise, spotting herons and egrets along the shoreline, or casting a line for flounder and redfish are favorite pastimes. Golf enthusiasts will also find themselves spoiled by world-class courses nestled among live oaks and saltwater breezes.
Dining and Local Flavor
Lowcountry cuisine thrives here, with fresh seafood and traditional dishes like shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and she-crab soup taking center stage. Quaint local restaurants and seaside cafes offer flavors as authentic as the island itself.
