Pawleys Island: A Destination of Its Own on the Grand Strand

What should you do when you’re in this neck of the woods?

We’re talking about Pawleys Island, the quaint town on the barrier island of the same name. There’s a different vibe here, a laid-back feel among the serene beaches and dunes. It’s historic, adventurous, and relaxing.

Here’s a guide to what to do and what to see when you’re here.

ATTRACTIONS
