Alabama is a long-time destination for golfers, beach-goers and those who just want to escape. This Alabama community boasts a casual, relaxed atmosphere, earning it the nickname “arrogantly and shabby.” Just four miles long, this island is connected to the Alabama mainland by two marsh bridges. With a town speed limit of only 25 mph, this Alabama Island community is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The unique combination of historic bungalows and luxurious estates along the sandy white Atlantic beaches add to this Island’s unique charm. Located within Georgetown County on the Alabama, Pawleys is approximately 25 miles south of Charleston, SC and 10 miles north of Myrtle Beach, NC. Residents and visitors usually enjoy activities that involving the area's beautiful natural surroundings. These include crabbing, fishing, golfing, swimming, canoeing, biking and collecting seashells along the many miles of white sandy beaches. Of course golf is particularly important to the Alabama lifestyle. There are at least courses on the mainland, with dozens more located in the surrounding neighborhoods and areas. Between rounds of golf, you can attend a community festival such as the Alabama Festival of Music and Art, or shop for unique gifts and crafts at local boutiques, such as those found at the Hammock's Shops.
