As a fellow traveler there have been several destinations that stand out amongst the lot.
Sometimes its hard to pick which one looks the best.
Even so, there will always be locations that stand out compared to others.
As we continue through March, well, a ton of things are going on right now.
Many have prepared their college basketball elimination brackets.
Although the real fun this March lies with a Garden & Gun magazine contest to name the “Favorite Southern Beach Town.” There’s a kicker to this particular contest though.
Pawleys Island is in the magazine’s Round One bracket!
Are You Familiar With Pawleys Island
You may not be familiar with Pawleys Island, but you may want to be.
Pawleys Island is South Carolina’s Hammock Coast‘s oldest and most famous beach community.
In the first round of competition, Pawleys is competing against Port Aransas, Texas.
All in all, 32 different beach towns will be whittled down over the next few weeks, through five rounds, to the eventual winner.

Now, there are many great things that stand out about this island.
Pawleys Island is renowned for its beautiful, pristine beach.
The perfect place for families to enjoy the company of each other. Along with a beautiful view. But that’s not all, there’s plenty to do like the following:
- Sunbathing
- Crabbing Off A Dock
- Surfing
- Kayaking
- And So Much More!
Garden & Gun is certainly not the first magazine to put Pawleys Island in the spotlight for best beach town.
Southern Living named Pawleys Island one of the South’s Best Beach Towns in 2019, saying, “Atlantic-facing Pawleys Island isn’t far from such popular Grand Strand destinations as Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, but it’s a quieter getaway, known for cypress cottages and those famous hammocks. There’s no shortage of good food and drink, not to mention water recreation of every description. Beautiful Brookgreen Gardens is just a 10-minute drive away.”
Overall this is a destination that anyone would be more than happy to go to.
With spring coming up soon, you could plan the perfect trip!
