Things To Do

Hammock Shops Village

One of the most famous destinations in all of Pawleys Island! Est. in 1938, the Hammock Shops boasts unique boutiques , speciality shops, and restaurants in the most beautiful settings youve ever seen. Theres a small playground for the kids too! Its truly a favorite of our whole family and it will be yours too! We promise!

Grumpy Gatorz

We have to allot at least an hour for the children to see the whole store. They love the apparel here, and souveniers gallore. If you're looking to bring something back, or would like any Pawleys Island merch, this is the place!

Brookgreen Gardens

Dude. The place has a ZOO too. History- So this deceased artist donated her sculptures and tons acres of land to conserving the wildlife in South Carolina. My mother in law will kill me for this very simpleton description but its huge and its gorgeous! The family had a great time. Worth the price of admission!

Pawleys Island General Store And Artisans Alley

The kids didnt want to go at first, but we went, and then we couldnt GET THEM OUT. I cant even describe it but gourmet foods , souveniers, and local artists display their goods. If this makes any sense, we left with food, x mas gifts, jewelry, some sweatpants, water bottles, and PI dishtowels... lol Love that place!

Litchfield Beach

Just go. Find public access if youre not at a resort, and go! The reason for the season, y'all! Its clean and the whole shells and ambiance cannot be beat!

Broadway at the Beach

Only 35 mins from Pawleys (depending on traffic), Myrtle Beach is famous for this destination. Im not sure I can do it justice by describing it, but its shops, boat rides, giant slides, zip lines, theater, carousel, a hotel, restaurants, Top Golf, wax museum, Ripleys & a ferris wheel... I mean....

Murrells Inlet

Walk the marsh, find a waterfront bar or restaurant, or go on a cruise. Posibilities are endless at the Inlet!

Parlor Doughnuts

No... b/c the Bride waits literally all year for our trip to Pawleys just so I can have a fresh, flaky "Sandy Beach" donut (really they're cro-nuts) at Parlor. The kids favorite is the Strawberry Shortcake or Cookies n Cream and a hot chocolate. We have to visit at least once every vacation. It will be a favorite of yours too. Were sure of it! Duck Donuts has NOTHING on this place. Y'all need to find out!

Frank's Outback & Way Back

If at any time while you're here in Pawleys Island you feel you'd like to experience amazing cuisine and ambience, make your reservation AHEAD OF TIME, and visit Frank's (Outback and Wayback). When I tell you Ive never experienced a full fine dining restaurant flanked by palms and trees and adorned with twinkle lights everywhere. Piano bar in the background and the coolest bar ive ever seen... Im still in awe. The food was amazing and it truly was an experience. Ask to dine AlFresco... Im glad they didnt have a table available inside.

Landolfi's Italian Bakery & Restaurant

JB loved the pizza and the place. This is the pickiest child in the world. I dont think anymore needs to be said. <3

Pawleys Island Tavern

Good food, and OPEN LATE. If you need to get your debauchery on, its one of very few bars open till 2 am on all of Pawleys. Wedding Party - dont you dare. Not until the evening of 6/21 lol

Dead Dog Saloon

This was one of the most fun family restaurants weve ever been to. Located at Murells Inlet, we had some of the best seafood, views, and live bands ever with dancing and drinks! Its loud and crowded; you've been warned for sensory sensitive children :). Seriously one of the best times weve had in the Low Country! <3

Gilbert's Ice Cream

Our family knows its ice cream. Trust us! lol

Paradice Homemade Ice Cream

Really fun ambience, really nice service and a menu with tons of flavors and types (soft serve, sugar free and specialty diet)
