Nestled beneath moss-draped oaks and swaying palmettos, the Hammock Shops Village in Pawleys Island, South Carolina is more than just a shopping destination—it’s a Lowcountry tradition. With its rich history, unique boutiques, local dining, and timeless Southern charm, this quaint village offers the perfect blend of relaxation and discovery.
A History Woven in Rope
The Hammock Shops trace their roots back to 1938, when riverboat captain Joshua John Ward began hand-weaving cotton-rope hammocks using a distinctive knotting technique. His design quickly earned a reputation for comfort and craftsmanship, and the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock became an iconic symbol of laid-back coastal living. What started as a small shop selling handcrafted hammocks has grown into a beloved village, while still proudly producing hammocks on site to this day. Visitors can even watch artisans at work, keeping the legacy alive.
Shop the Lowcountry Way
Today, the Hammock Shops Village features over 20 specialty stores, each offering a one-of-a-kind experience. From coastal décor and handmade jewelry to resort wear and gourmet foods, it’s easy to spend a few hours wandering in and out of charming, cottage-style storefronts. Shops like Coastal Wine Boutique, Whitmire Fine Jewelry, and Pawleys Island Shoes bring a distinctly local flavor, perfect for picking up gifts or treating yourself to something special.
Dining Under the Pines
When hunger strikes, you’re in luck—there are several delicious dining options nestled right within the village. Enjoy fresh seafood and Lowcountry classics at BisQit, where burgers and craft cocktails steal the show, or pop into Pawleys Island Tavern just down the road for a more laid-back, music-filled atmosphere. Whether you’re sipping sweet tea in the shade or indulging in a shrimp po’ boy, the dining experience here is all about slowing down and savoring the moment.
Events, Entertainment & Family Fun
The Hammock Shops aren’t just for shopping. The village often hosts seasonal events, wine tastings, craft fairs, and family-friendly activities. Kids can roam the safe, shaded pathways while parents relax on a bench or in—what else—a hammock. Whether you’re visiting for a quick afternoon outing or a leisurely day trip, there’s always something happening to engage all ages.
