Myrtle Beach Day 6:
Our first order of business today was to explore Pawley’s Island which is south of Myrtle Beach. My good friend Cindy has been going there since she was a child and still tries to go at least once a year. Since we are so close, I thought we should check it out.
Pawley’s Island is a barrier island and known for its beaches and sand dunes. There are homes along the shore and most are rentals since the population is only 132. There is a historic district with homes built in the 1700’s. The beach is very nice and big and since it was a cool day there were just a few people there. It was definitely too cold for me to go swimming today. We could really see the appeal of Pawley’s Island. It is a very calming place and not commercial at all.

We also explored Murrells Inlet which is a historic fishing village with a boardwalk and quite a few restaurants. Legend has it that the inlets and coves at Murrells were great hiding places for pirates such as Black Beard in the 1700’s.
There is a little island by the boardwalk called Goats Island because it used to have goats on it during the summer to keep the grasses under control. Because of damage due to Hurricane Ian last year, there is too much erosion to safely bring the goats back this year.
A fun and relaxing last day in South Carolina. Now we need to do some creative packing for our trip home tomorrow.
