關於Pawleys Island
Pawleys Island is a town of 130 people (2020) on a barrier island of the same name in the Grand Strand region of South Carolina's northern coast. The island primarily is developed with large houses that are rented on a weekly basis to people visiting the beach. There are also a couple of inns for shorter-term stays. Dining and shopping is all located off-island, across one of two short bridges to the mainland. The island has a "marsh side", with Pawleys Creek, and an oceanside, facing the Atlantic.
Pawleys Island旅遊指南
如何抵達
If you are traveling by air, you will want to fly into the Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR). Carriers include American, Delta, and United. Alternative airport is Charleston about 90 miles south. Heading south on Highway 17 the trip from the Myrtle Beach airport is about 45 minutes when the traffic flow is not heavy. Highway 31 has a southbound expressway that provides greater access and easier traffic flow.
當地交通
If you're not driving to the island, you'll want to rent a car. There are no stores or restaurants on the island, and while the highly ambitious could walk or bike to the stores on the mainland, it's a long way and the entire trip is on the highway as there are no bike paths or sidewalks. You will be able to walk to the beach from everywhere on the island.

體驗活動
Pawleys Island is probably best described as a family vacation destination, and it's most famous for its relaxed atmosphere -- other than the Sea View Inn and the Pelican Bed and Breakfast, there are no businesses on the island. The main thing to do, of course, is hang out on the beach. Because of limited public parking, the beaches are not too crowded, and the type of sand and the shape of the beach make for a good beach experience. Surfing at Pawleys is somewhat popular, but South Carolina is not a surfing destination, and Pawleys is not the best surfing destination in South Carolina. However, there are good waves, and you can have a great time on a body board. Depending on the time of year, you can also catch some fish off the beach. Pawleys Creek, behind the island, also offers a lot to do. Fishing in the creek can be decent, and if you're fishing from the shore or a dock, you do not need a fishing license. If you do not have access to a dock, you can fish in the creek from one of the two causeway bridges, near one of the two boat landings, or at the extreme north or south ends of the island. You can also get a small boats (skiffs) in the creek, though at low tide, the water gets pretty shallow in some spots. Those who fish from boats usually troll for flounder. Fish to be caught include flounder, red fish (a/k/a red drum, spot tail bass), speckled trout, black drum, and blue fish. Fishing bait and tackle is available at the Pawleys Island Hardware Store at the corner of North Causeway Rd. and US Hwy. 17 or at Pawleys Island Outdoors just north of the South Causeway on Hwy 17. Crabbing is also a popular past-time in the creek, and the crabbing is almost always good. You can get a hand line and dip net or a ring net at the aforementioned bait stores and entertain the kids with an afternoon of crabbing. If you want to catch some serious crabs, you can leave a crab pot soaking overnight. While there are numerous clams and oysters in the creek, it is i
