Pawleys Island

– Laid-Back Luxury by the Sea

Pawleys Island is one of the oldest seaside resorts on the East Coast, famous for its pristine beaches, natural beauty, and relaxed pace of life. Just south of Myrtle Beach, it offers a coastal retreat where history and simplicity blend with modern comforts. The island itself is known for its laid-back motto: ‘Arrogantly Shabby.’ With wide beaches and classic beach cottages, Pawleys has long been a place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the simple pleasures of sand, surf, and sun. Its creeks and salt marshes are perfect for crabbing, kayaking, or watching breathtaking sunsets that paint the horizon. Across the causeway, the mainland side of Pawleys Island brings a touch of sophistication with local art galleries, boutiques, and renowned dining. The area is also celebrated for its golf courses, including some of the oldest and most scenic in the country. Nature preserves and nearby Brookgreen Gardens add to the area’s charm, offering opportunities to explore and connect with the Lowcountry landscape. Pawleys Island is more than just a destination, it’s a lifestyle rooted in coastal traditions and natural beauty. Whether it’s a morning walk on the beach, an afternoon exploring the marsh, or an evening enjoying local seafood, Pawleys has a way of reminding you to slow down and savor life.
