Pawleys Island The beach is peaceful and pristine, and renowned for its surf. Within five miles of the island there are approximately ten first-rate golf courses and a large tennis complex. Fishing is available both in the surf and from our two marsh bridges. On the island are three fine launch boat ramps.
Pawleys Island #4 in Best South Carolina Beaches One of the oldest resort areas on the East Coast, Pawleys Island is still largely non-commercialized. The area is remote in feel, offering up a short list of things to enjoy aside from its white sand beach and picturesque Pawleys Island Creek. If you're into nature, though, this is your haven: Brookgreen Gardens, a 9,000-plus acre wildlife preserve and botanical sculpture garden, is just a short drive away. Plus, golfers will want to reserve a tee time at Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club.
