All about Pawleys Island

Situated on a barrier reef in South Carolina, Pawleys Island is a small town that’s also one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast. Even as far back as the 1700s, travelers came to enjoy the island’s beaches and dunes. Now visitors come for the white sandy beaches; kayaking, crabbing, and fishing; and locally-made hammocks and cheeses. Some of the first rope hammocks were designed on Pawleys, and can be bought from the original hammock shop, while the local cheesemonger supplies the regional classic, pimento cheese. The area is also known for its ample qualities of delicious blue crab.
