Pawley's Island: Pritchard Street

South Carolina

About

Pritchard Street is a public beach access point on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, managed by the Town of Pawleys Island. It sits about 1.3 miles from the community of Pawleys Island, and the access is built to be accessible, with parking available at the site. This is a simple stop for reaching the sand rather than a destination with a route to follow. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Brookgreen Gardens weather station show May highs around 80°F and October highs around 76°F, compared with July highs near 88°F. For time off the beach, several walks lie within about 10 miles. The Larry Paul Trail and The Trail Beyond the Garden Wall are each under 8 miles away, the Lowcountry Hike is close by at a similar distance, and the Georgetown Harborwalk is about 9.4 miles off.
