Pawleys Island, South Carolina, is celebrated for its serene beaches, charming marshlands, and laid-back atmosphere, making it one of the East Coast’s oldest resort areas. Established in the 18th century by English settlers and French Huguenots who create rice plantations, the island became a summer retreat for wealthy plantation owners. Over the years, it evolved into a tranquil resort community known for its “arrogantly shabby” appeal and minimal commercial development. The Golden Neptune Restaurant, founded in the 1960s, became a beloved local institution, offering classic Lowcountry cuisine in a relaxed setting. Although it has since closed, its legacy endures in Pawleys Island’s culinary scene, which continues to emphasize fresh, local ingredients and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Today, the island maintains its historical charm while providing visitors a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage.
