Pawleys Island is a testament to true lowcountry living. One of the oldest coastal retreats in the country, the quaint community is surrounded by salt marshes on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Historically, plantation owners flocked to the area seeking a retreat from the balmy air of the Waccamaw River in search of the cool sea breezes. Even today, Pawleys Island’s historical downtown has pre-Civil War buildings in use. Pawleys Island is still the same summer paradise it has always been, and is only a short trip to the unique shopping, dining, and golf. Many locals refer to their island as "arrogantly shabby."
