Tranquil
Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island, SC!
This
gem on the Grand Strand is located roughly 25 miles south
of Myrtle Beach and 70 miles north of Charleston. Combined,
Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island are two examples of
quaint, small town life.
Pawleys
Island, known as "Arrogantly Shabby" is a barrier
island about 3 1/2 miles long and just one or two houses
wide. The island is separated from the mainland by a vast
and exquisite salt marsh. Access to the island is made
through two short causeways on the north and south ends
of the island.
Beach
homes, most available for rental, line the island from
end to end. It is a perfect getaway where you can enjoy
the crashing waves on one side of a beach house and the
calm waters of the marsh, suitable for swimming, fishing,
and jet skiing on the other side.
The
southern tip of the island, where the ocean meets the
salt marsh, is our favorite location. It is a perfect
public access area to enjoy either the sunrise or sunset,
with low tide being an exceptionally enjoyable time to
walk through the shallow water looking for shells.
The
mainland of Pawleys Island which includes Litchfield and
Litchfield Beach offer a wonderful setting for relaxation
and a laid back atmosphere.

to take a tour to Alice's Grave or hear the legend of
the Gray Man.

Pawleys Island/Litchfield is an experience we are sure

relocate to and call home.
