Pawleys Island - South Carolina - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

Known as the oldest seaside resort on the Atlantic Ocean, Pawleys Island, South Carolina is the perfect vacation destination. It is only 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach and is really a barrier island less than 4 miles long. The population is less than 200 people, so you know that you will experience the traditional small town atmosphere.

Even though this is only a small community, there are plenty of accommodations. In fact one of the bed and breakfasts here has been voted one of the ten most romantic inns in the country. Stay at a luxury resort, a bed and breakfast, a hotel or rent a one or two bedroom condominium for your vacation. Enjoy Mexican cuisine or dine on seafood or steak. The choice is yours from fine dining to take out - you will not go hungry.

Golf is the main activity when you visit Pawleys Island. There are 5 world-class courses to choose from with the River Club being the most challenging. This course is built on the site of a former rice plantation and features wide open fairways and large bent grass greens. Swimming on the beach and relaxing in the shade is one of the activities for which most people come to this town. Enjoy the sandy beaches and if you want to go snorkeling, you can rent equipment right on the beach.

Just a short distance away you can visit the Brookgreen Gardens and the avid shopper will not want to miss a shopping excursion to the Pawleys Island Hammock Shops where you can find the famous hammocks made on the island.
