What to do and see in Pawleys Island, South Carolina (SC): The Best Gear Rentals
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.

We’ve been coming to Pawley’s Island for years and finally took advantage of renting bikes. Cyclopadia was responsive and able to deliver directly to our condo the next day. We opted for the hybrid style bikes, which were in great shape and reasonably priced! They included a attached bag, water bottle holder and carrier on back. We rode the bike path several days, which is a safer option to roads. Highly recommend the ride from Pawley’s Island, through Huntington Beach State Park to the Marsh Walk at Murrel’s Inlet! We will definitely use Cyclopedia again and highly recommend!!

This is one of the widest beaches in the area and is a local well kept secret. It's not nearly as crowded as Myrtle Beach and you can go out several hundred feet in the water before it gets deep so it's excellent for children to play.
