Top Things to Do on Your Winter/Early Spring Vacation in 2020

Experience Pawleys Island in the off-season! The crowds are gone, the temperatures are mild and the off-season rates can't be beat. Reserve your vacation for a week, a month, or book a long weekend in one of our beautiful homes or condominiums. Make Pawleys Island a vacation tradition in the months of January, February, March, and April. We have oceanfront and off ocean properties, and Pet-Friendly homes are available, too! The off-season at Pawleys Island is beautiful, and a perfect place to unwind and relax with a view of the ocean and a walk down the beach.

This is our favorite time of year for many reasons, one of which is Oyster Season. A true coastal delicacy is an oyster roast! Steamed to perfection, the shells slightly cracked open, and served with melted butter, cocktail sauce and saltine crackers. You'll find many restaurants that serve local oysters. Don't miss out on these very special gifts from the coastal waters of South Carolina.

Another favorite reason to visit during this early season is fantastic golf courses. Be sure to play one of the local award-winning courses in Pawleys Island. You can literally play a different golf course every single day of your vacation. Try different challenges including saltwater creeks, tidal rivers, cypress swamps, and dense natural oak trees created by famous designers like Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and William Byrd.

For activities to suit all ages, the 2020 Events Calendar is filling up with historic and wildlife tours, concerts, festivals and educational events that shouldn't be missed. They make a perfect excuse to plan on being at the beach!

January begins with the Taste of the MarshWalk. Eight award-winning restaurants will present their chef's favorites, including the freshest seafood as well as land lover dishes. Enjoy live music, kid's activities, local artisans, crafters, and small dish tastings of the area's best restaurants! Also in January, the Lee Minton Signature Series of the Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Arts features a performance by Jazz Singer Alexis Cole, accompanied by jazz pianist, arranger and producer, John di Martino.

Begin the day's tour at Prince George Church Parish Hall, where visitors can pick up tickets, maps, brochures and bag lunches.

Brookgreen begins their special summer event on April 8. This year's exhibit is especially exciting as they present internationally known artist, Bruce Munro's Southern Light.
