The last big shindig of the summer is just around the corner. Labor Day, which falls on Sept. 5, serves as the unofficial end of the season. Fortunately, it’s not too late to plan a last-minute family beach getaway to close out the summer fun.
7 Reasons to Book the Hammock Coast for Labor Day
The Beach
If there’s one thing that draws visitors to Pawleys Island, it’s that beautiful beach. It’s still possible to snag a property right on the beach, like Tip Ellen, a four-bedroom old-style cottage, or a Litchfield Beach condo. Even if you stay in a property like a True Blue villa, the 2nd Street Public Beach Access is just down the road.
The Ocean
The view doesn’t get better than looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. Go for a swim, play in the surf, cast a line, or just stare as the waves roll in.
Full Slate of Events
The Downtown Pawleys Live Music, Food & Art Festival takes place from 2 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 4. Tickets are $25 for the fest, which features regional bands, fresh food, craft beers, sparkling wine, and art. What more could you ask for? Or start the morning with the Blues & Soul Sunday Brunch at Local Eat Drink Celebrate in Hammock Shops Village and end it at 6 p.m. with the 2nd Brookgreen Gardens Labor Day 5K.
Mouthwatering Cuisine
The Chive Blossom Restaurant & Bar creates Southern classics with Asian and Mediterranean flair. Get Southern comfort food at Rustic Table and BisQit. For seafood, order the oysters or Lowcountry pot at Pawley’s Raw Bar. Or head to Caffe Piccolo for Italian, and Frank’s & Frank’s Outback for steak and seafood.
Tropical Drinks
Is it summer unless you’ve enjoyed fruity drinks with little umbrellas? Okay, so they may not include the cute little umbrellas, but these spots offer well-poured craft cocktails. Try a mimosa at Local Eat Drink Celebrate, served by the glass or the bottle in orange, pineapple, peach and pomegranate flavors. Island Bar and Grill Pawleys Island serves a delicious island punch or enjoy an Island Breeze at Pawleys Island Tavern.
Great Accommodations
Of course, you want a beach stay to be comfortable, in a worry-free rental that makes your vacation memorable. Our properties in Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach offer the perfect places to build a lifetime of memories, from beach-front to budget-friendly.
Slower Pace
Life in Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet and the surrounding communities truly take you back in time. These are undeveloped areas with quaint charm and a leisurely attitude where you relax and take things at your own speed. Sounds good, right?
