My wife and some friends were on Litchfield Beach this afternoon. Since we were hammered by the storm over the weekend, we decided to make the most of a cloudy day and take a walk. “Right or left?” someone asked. We decided to go towards Pawley’s. As we got to the end of the beach, and looked across to Pawleys Island, I couldn’t help but wonder which beach community most of my friends favored to visit in SC. Litchfield? Pawleys? Folly? IOP? Sullivans? Edisto? Hilton Head? All have their merits, but some are just better for certain situations.<\/p>\n
It seems to me that Litchfield and Pawleys are pretty much the same thing. The only difference is that there are more dwellings at Litchfield. Pawleys is more of a beach one drives to. Places to eat, night life and golf are the same, since they are so close together. You can be at Frank’s, Louis’s or Devine Fish House in almost the same amount of time whether you’re coming from Pawley’s Plantation or Inlet Point. Overall, these two seem to be more family freindly than other SC beaches. Also, golf is a big deal.<\/p>\n
IOP and Sully’s seem to be more condusive for Sandlappers without children. The lack of condos compared to Litchfield somehow seems to be one of the reasons for this. It seems that more bachelor parties find their way to the Charleston beaches. These beaches also seem to be for the folks who prefer the nightlife of Hook and Poe’s with the magic of downtown Charleston a cab drive away. Nightlife and shopping trump golf here.<\/p>\n
I think the fishing aspect is probably a tie for both areas. Both have comparable marshes, rivers…and of course the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
Is Hilton Head in the running, or is HH for the yacht owner only? Is Myrtle in the mix, or is “The Strip” mostly for teenagers and Michigan\/Ohio State fans?<\/p>\n
So the “If I won the lottery” question arises… If you had $450,000ish for a marsh or golf front condo, or $5 million for a front rower, where do you send your Realtor first? Tough, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
