We decided that a quick trip was just what the doctor ordered, so Saturday morning we headed to Pawley's Island. Just south of Myrtle Beach, the area is a world away in terms of character. Great shops and delicious restaurants are tucked into the dense vegetation of Pawley's mainland. It's relaxed, casual and feels like a coastal hide-away. The Island is filled with beach houses, some even historic:
Turn off the main drag toward the marsh. A wide, grassy expanse between the shore and the actual island.

This point of the island has a public beach access. 
Rough ocean on one side, especially at the point,
clear and calm on the other. At least on the surface.
Cruisin' the Island.Spanish Moss, so Southern.

Can a Town Hall building be darling? Well, this one certainly fits the bill.
The sweetest little church, dressed for a wedding, that sits directly over the marsh.
On the way home we stopped for a great lunch at Bistro 217...the sweet potato fries were fantastic and as an added bonus, they were very vegetarian friendly.
The End...
looks like a great trip! And I love the blog :-)

Thank you my dear! It is always refreshing to take a drive.
ReplyDeleteThat jetty is where Ken and I go kayaking up and down the marsh and when I am feeling brave I take my kayak out into the ocean....only to get tipped into the white water and start freaking out!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the "fried" patties??? I'll have to try that place....the church....if I had known about when I got married here I think I would have done it there, so beautiful and simple...your pictures are perfection and capture the area so beautifully!!!
Thanks Kiki! The "fried" patties are fried green tomatoes. I LOVE them when they are still a little firm and not soggy. The ones pictured above had a great flavor, but a smidge on the gooey side for my taste. Nice place though. And had a great little shop next door, I can't remember the name, but it had nice candles and some fun silver jewelry. Check it out!
