Grand Strand Communities
A quiet, historic beach community at the south end of the Grand Strand, known for its relaxed pace, marsh views, and unhurried beaches.
Pawleys Island sits at the southern end of the Grand Strand in Georgetown County, about half an hour south of Myrtle Beach along US-17. It is one of the oldest summer resort areas on the East Coast, and it has kept its easygoing character. The town even calls itself "arrogantly shabby."
Life here moves at a slower pace. You will find quiet beaches, salt marsh and creeks on the island's back side, local shops and restaurants along the Hammock Coast, and the famous Pawleys Island rope hammock. Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park are a short drive north.
Homes in the Pawleys Island area include classic beach cottages, marsh-front and creek-side properties, and neighborhoods on the mainland side of the marsh, many with golf nearby. Buyers often come here for a quieter coastal home, a second home, or a place to retire.
On a coastal property, flood zones, insurance, and HOA rules matter. We can help you compare homes and areas so you understand the full picture before you make an offer.
Thinking about a quieter coastal home in Pawleys Island or along the Grand Strand? We'd love to help you find your place here.
