10 Shopping in Pawleys Island That You Shouldn't Miss
Located on South Carolina's beautiful Grand Strand, Pawley's Island is the laid back alternative to the Myrtle Beach vacation. Shopping, dining, or golfing is all within reach. Just south of Myrtle Beach, Pawley's Island is best known for the Hammock Shops, a unique shopping experience of quaint small shops nestled under trees full of Spanish Moss. You can find everything from shoes to local artwork, or you might choose to go golfing on one of the many world-class golf courses in the area. While Pawley's is quieter and more relaxed than nearby Myrtle Beach, the latter's close proximity provides infinite possibilities for dining and nightlife. Murrell's Inlet, a quaint fishing village, and its bevy of seafood restaurants is just up the road and also has a Salt Marsh Preserve. Simple but delicious hamburgers at the River City cafe or finer dining at one of the hundreds of other restaurants are all within short driving distance. After dinner you might seek out one of the many venues for arts and entertainment. The Carolina Opry is well known for its amazing shows. You can see a live show or dance the night away…or both! Enjoying the beach is the obvious activity but there is so much more to do than just that. Parasailing is a popular option, as is a visit to the Huntington State Park to explore the local flora and fauna. The park has many programs to entertain and enlighten both the young and old. On the grounds is Atalaya, the home of the artist Anna Hyatt Huntington. Just across the street is Brookgreen Gardens which features many of the sculptures of the artist as well as the lovely manicured gardens.

During a vacation trip to Murrells Inlet my wife and I did a shopping trip to the Hammock Shops Village in Pawleys Island. The Hammock Shops Village is home to over 20 unique shops. Among our favorite shops was the High Country Olive Oil which sells all sorts of flavored olive oils and balsamic to choose from. You can sample the different flavors before you buy. The clerks here are very helpful in trying to match their selection of flavors to your taste. During our visit we sampled the garlic flavored olive oil and the wild blueberry and pomegranate flavored balsamic. We bought a bottle of each home. Delicious stuff. You can also order their products online.

Walking in puts a smile on my face - the store is beautifully laid out with gorgeous racks of hand sewn tasteful, timeless dresses and tops everywhere I looked!! I have a headband with a matching mask and get compliments whenever I wear them. The headband is perfect. I love that she designs everything and has them created by local seamstresses.
