Pawleys Island is off the beaten path! If you're looking to get away without the crowds and stresses of other beach destinations like Myrtle Beach, then Pawleys is a great choice. If you have trouble finding a place on Pawleys Island, you might try Litchfield, which is only a few miles away and offers comparable peace and quiet.
