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 Alice's Grave or hear the legend of the Gray
Man.
