South Carolina's Hammock Coast

Award-Winning Beaches, Seafood, Golf, and Timeless Coastal Charm on South Carolina's Hammock Coast

Have you discovered South Carolina’s Hammock Coast? It's one of the oldest vacation destinations in America and includes the beach communities of Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Murrells Inlet, DeBordieu Colony and southern Garden City. On the Hammock Coast are spacious, pristine beaches and salt marshes, offering chances to soak up the sun, spirit away on a kayak or even catch fish and blue crabs for dinner. Comfortably nestled between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, the Hammock Coast is serviced by two major airports. Pawleys Island has been named — for the second year in a row, no less – as "South Carolina's Best Beach" by USA Today/10 Best. (Litchfield Beach came in at No. 3, and Huntington Beach State Park ranked 4th. So award-winning beaches are a thing on the Hammock Coast!) As the birthplace of the rope hammock, relaxation has a long history here - and gave inspiration to the region’s moniker as the “Hammock Coast.” Litchfield Beach, just north of Pawleys, earned TripAdvisor's designation as one of the Top 10 beaches in America! Murrells Inlet, known as the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina,” was originally a fishing village on a protected inlet. The southern portion of Garden City overlooks Murrells Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, offering stunning views in every direction. And DeBordieu Colony offers a spectacular beach near historic Georgetown, where history comes alive at five museums. Between the business districts of Murrells Inlet and Litchfield are two of the Hammock Coast’s most famous attractions –Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. Recognized as one of the top birding spots on the East Coast, the state park offers camping and access to an undeveloped beach. Just across Ocean Highway is Brookgreen Gardens, a 9,127-acre botanical and sculpture garden that has drawn visitors since 1931. For golf fans, be sure to try one of the 11 courses on the Hammock Coast Golf Trail. Three of Golf Magazine's “Top 100 You Can Play” are here! Visit HammockCoastSC.com today for more information!
