Neighborhood guide

Pawleys Island homes and neighborhood guide

Pawleys Island is on the Grand Strand in South Carolina. Arrogantly shabby. Historic island cottages, Litchfield Beach, and some of the most refined Lowcountry real estate on the Strand. Lane Sherman of Sherman Beach Group at eXp Realty helps buyers and sellers here.

Pawleys Island is its own world: hammock cottages, creek docks, and a pace that refuses to be rushed. Litchfield and surrounding plantations add golf, gates, and newer construction.

Buyers here care about character, marsh views, and long-term stewardship as much as night-one rental income.
