6 Sights & Landmarks in Pawleys Island That You Shouldn't Miss
Located on South Carolina's beautiful Grand Strand, Pawley's Island is the laid back alternative to the Myrtle Beach vacation. Shopping, dining, or golfing is all within reach. Just south of Myrtle Beach, Pawley's Island is best known for the Hammock Shops, a unique shopping experience of quaint small shops nestled under trees full of Spanish Moss. You can find everything from shoes to local artwork, or you might choose to go golfing on one of the many world-class golf courses in the area. While Pawley's is quieter and more relaxed than nearby Myrtle Beach, the latter's close proximity provides infinite possibilities for dining and nightlife. Murrell's Inlet, a quaint fishing village, and its bevy of seafood restaurants is just up the road and also has a Salt Marsh Preserve. Simple but delicious hamburgers at the River City cafe or finer dining at one of the hundreds of other restaurants are all within short driving distance. After dinner you might seek out one of the many venues for arts and entertainment. The Carolina Opry is well known for its amazing shows. You can see a live show or dance the night away…or both! Enjoying the beach is the obvious activity but there is so much more to do than just that. Parasailing is a popular option, as is a visit to the Huntington State Park to explore the local flora and fauna. The park has many programs to entertain and enlighten both the young and old. On the grounds is Atalaya, the home of the artist Anna Hyatt Huntington. Just across the street is Brookgreen Gardens which features many of the sculptures of the artist as well as the lovely manicured gardens.

Atalaya Castle at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet is a cool castle and home on the beach that is fun to explore, climb on, and imagine what everything was like when it was operational. I really like the design and location of everything. I did not know this existed the many times I passed by and it was fun to check out.

We visited the cemetery mainly to visit Alice Flagg’s memorial, which we found, along with many other historical graves and just a beautiful place. The moss on the trees and the old church made for a calm, peaceful feeling. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the shaded paths through the area.

Just to start. Nice lay out. Tees, fairways as and rough. All in great shape. And this was November 2nd. Greens were in good shape. Little slow for me, but that's just me. Rolled good and mostly true. Fir this time if year. No complaints. I will definitely play this one again.

Love walking on the boardwalk. So peaceful looking at the marsh. Even saw a baby gator. Bordwalk needs some upkeep. It’s fun to see the historic homes in this area.
