There are a few elevated beachfront restaurants, an ice cream shop, a pizza shop, and a handful of boutiques and beach gear stores. Moving south from Pawley’s, Isle of Palms (IOP) beach is accessed either by the Isle of Palms Connector or via Sullivan’s Island (and the Ben Sawyer Bridge in Mount Pleasant.) The Isle of Palms crowd is mostly visitors with rentals on the beach or just across the street. Pawley’s Island is great for families because it has a large parking area, great shelling, picnic areas, restroom facilities, and snack bar. The other reason to visit Pawley’s Island is for a refreshing dip after a stop at Brookgreen Gardens, a vast and lush outdoor garden and sculpture museum that is a favorite road trip from the Holy City. Some natives still drive to Pawley’s out of nostalgia, or because that’s where they’re vacationing from Charleston. It wasn’t unusual (and still isn’t) for families to rent a beach house for the summer, or for a long summer vacation, and decamp. Locals who grew up in Charleston often have fond memories of spending summers on Pawley’s Island. You may be wondering: If you live in the Charleston area, why would you dive an hour when you could drive 10 minutes to go to a beach? Three reasons: Nostalgia, vacation, or you’re visiting Brookgreen Gardens. Pawley’s Island is about an hour north of Charleston.
There are six popular beaches for locals: There are 22 barrier islands, or “Sea Islands” in South Carolina, but not all of them have the kind of beach where you’d want to spend a Sunday. Our beaches may look the same, but they’re very different from one another. One of the first things you’ll need to establish when you move to Charleston, or to a new neighborhood in Charleston, is which will be “your” beach.
