Pawleys Island to Myrtle Beach
Pawleys Island
Our island has many activities to enjoy! Pawleys Island is unique because it is one of the few remaining areas that has not been overly developed. There are still many unspoiled and natural areas to explore, which is why Pawleys is a popular destination for those who love nature and the outdoors. Here are some of our favorite Pawleys Island attractions:
-The Pawleys Island Hammock Shops (6 minutes from your Dunes Beach Rental Home rental): Pawleys is known for its hammocks, and you can find some of the best at The Hammock Shops Village. There are several locations throughout the island, so stop by one (or all!) during your visit.
-Pawleys Plantation (13 minutes from your Dunes Beach Rental Home rental): Pawleys Plantation is a historic plantation and golf course that dates back to the 18th century. Visitors can tour the grounds, play golf, or simply enjoy the views.
Murrells Inlet

Visitors can enjoy tours, exhibits, and annual events that are truly one-of-a-kind.
-The Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk (12 minutes from your Dunes Beach Rental Home rental): The Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk is a half-mile boardwalk that winds through the marsh and offers views of the inlet.
