What to do and see in Pawleys Island, South Carolina (SC): The Best Things to do
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.

I'm sided to attend this golf Academy after doing extensive research on all of the golf schools in the greater Myrtle Beach area. I was more than impressed with the level of attention they give each student and they were able to do a ton with my golf swing. I look forward to returning and another year I have them evaluate my Swain then after I put in place what they have taught me. I noticed on my 1st round after the Academy I was hitting the ball about 20 yd longer so I have to re learn how to hit my clubs which is a good problem to have since they are on the fairway now. I highly recommend this golf school

Mel Sole Golf School is what you should do instead of lessons at the box stores. Wife and I both attended the 3 day course. School reservations and on site accommodations were easy as Mel set up our visit for the school and playing lessons. On site accommodations were excellent, clean and within walking distance of the school. .The South Carolina area is pretty with lots to do. Our Instructor David was excellent. His first question on day one was what I had hoped would happen, and it was what are you here for and what aspect of your game would you like to make better. From then on It was video taping your swing mechanics and instruction in every aspect from pitching, chipping, full swing and putting in the way you understood what and how to correctly execute to become a better golfer. I suggest on course playing lessons as well with David. Not only will you gain some valuable experience but it is also fun. David answers questions and backs it up with show and tell teaching. I walked away with knowledge and understanding to practice for much better and enjoyable golfing. You can too.

We’ve been coming to Pawley’s Island for years and finally took advantage of renting bikes. Cyclopadia was responsive and able to deliver directly to our condo the next day. We opted for the hybrid style bikes, which were in great shape and reasonably priced! They included a attached bag, water bottle holder and carrier on back. We rode the bike path several days, which is a safer option to roads. Highly recommend the ride from Pawley’s Island, through Huntington Beach State Park to the Marsh Walk at Murrel’s Inlet! We will definitely use Cyclopedia again and highly recommend!!
