Where is Pawley’s Island?
If you are looking at a map of the Grand Strand, Pawley’s Island sits on the southern edge of it. Pawley’s Island has two distinct communities. The community known as Pawley’s sits on a barrier island. The total permanent population of this community is only a few hundred. The Island community retains its old time feel. With very few exceptions, there are no industrial or commercial developments on the island. Many older homes offer a true sense of what the island community is. The pace of life on the island is in sharp contrast to the inland part of the community.
Many consider the inland part of the community not a true part of Pawley’s Island. However, for tourists and those moving to the area, they blend. The off island community is across the Intracoastal Waterway from the Island. This community offers tourists the ability to golf at world class golf courses. They also dine at restaurants along Ocean Highway. The inland community is where the schools and other infrastructure sit for the larger community. When you visit this area, you will find that both communities offer everything you need when you live there or if you are visiting it.
