First visit, any age, no special gear
One day on Pawleys Island
If you only get one day, spend it the way the island actually works: around the tide, not around the clock.

Days built around the tide rather than the clock, because that is how the island actually works. Pick the one that matches who you are travelling with.
Families, roughly ages four to twelve
Pawleys Island with kids
Built around things that reliably happen, rather than things that might. Children do not care about scenery, they care about catching something.

Anyone, any age
A rainy day near Pawleys Island
A wet day here is not a lost day, but it does mean driving. Almost everything indoors is north or south of the island rather than on it.

Anglers, any level
A day built entirely around fishing
Read the tide first, buy bait second, pick your water third. In that order, every time.
