1 Best Sight in Pawleys Island, Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand

Pawleys Island

Fodor's choice

Over 3 miles of tranquil and natural beach run along the shoreline of Pawleys Island. The surrounding architecture consists only of beach cottages and low-lying resorts, so it's a peaceful retreat. Lack of crowds allows for bicycling on packed sand, shelling, or napping on a hammock. Note that there aren't any lifeguards. Best for: surfing; swimming; walking. Amenities: parking (limited; on side streets).
