Pawleys Island, South Carolina

Pawleys Island South Carolina began as a retreat for riverside farmers to escape the threat of malaria in the summers, and is now a great way to take a break from the stresses of the everyday grind.

Located about midway between Myrtle Beach SC and the city of Georgetown SC, Pawleys Island is a small barrier island that has escaped some of the tourist craze the rest of the Grand Strand endures.

Although its numbers swell during the summer months, Pawleys Island South Carolina is proudly referred to by residents as, “arrogantly shabby,” and is valued as a place without pretense, where heading out without shoes and un-showered is par for the course.

Only about four miles long and about a house or two wide, Pawleys Island is separated from the mainland by a salt marsh. Connected by two causeways, sighs of relief can often be heard by those making the crossing onto the island, where many of the annual visitors say they share a feeling of camaraderie with the year round residents.

People who visit, quickly value the laid back lifestyle that emits from the island.

Pawleys Island has a year-round population of about 200 people and is located in Georgetown County South Carolina, which has a total population of 58,924 people.

Located seventy miles north of Charleston SC and twenty-five miles south of Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island allows its visitors to escape the high rise residential complexes of Myrtle Beach, while still enjoying the best beaches of the South Carolina Coast.
