Pawleys Island is a coastal paradise known for its laid-back charm, beautiful beaches, and hot summer days. When the sun is high and the temperatures climb, it’s important to know how to stay cool while still enjoying every minute of your Lowcountry escape. Whether you’re lounging in the shade or diving into the ocean, here are the top five ways to beat the heat during your summer vacation in Pawleys Island.
1. Relax by the Pool with a Cold Drink from Tides Beach Bar
The ultimate way to chill out? Head straight to the pool at Litchfield Inn, where guests can take a refreshing dip and sip cold cocktails without ever leaving their lounge chair. Tides Beach Bar serves poolside, offering frozen drinks, cold beer, and tropical favorites like mojitos and piña coladas. It’s the perfect setup: sun, shade, and service that comes to you. Cool off, kick back, and let the ocean breeze do the rest.
2. Catch the Morning Breeze with an Early Beach Walk
Before the heat of the day sets in, take a peaceful walk along the shore. The early morning hours bring cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and a calm, quiet beach. Plus, you might even catch a breathtaking sunrise over the Atlantic.
3. Explore the Shade at Brookgreen Gardens
Located just a short drive away, Brookgreen Gardens offers shaded walking paths, cool fountains, and beautiful live oaks draped in Spanish moss. With indoor galleries and breezy outdoor spaces, it’s a serene way to stay cool and enjoy art and nature at the same time.
4. Paddle Through the Marsh in the Early Evening
Kayaking or paddleboarding through the salt marshes during golden hour offers not only a chance to cool down but also a stunning view of Pawleys’ natural beauty. The sun is lower, the water is calm, and the scenery is unforgettable.
5. Treat Yourself to Local Ice Cream
Sometimes, a scoop (or two) of handcrafted ice cream is the best answer to summer heat. Check out local favorites like Gilbert’s Ice Cream or Paradise Ice Cream for creamy, cold treats that hit the spot after a day in the sun.
