The island is often described – with pride – as "arrogantly shabby."

Pawleys Island resident Rebecca Ceron Martin took this picture in the fall of 2007. Here she describes her favorite way to spend a day:
"There is a lovely pastime that one can do at Pawleys Island any time of the year! It's called a 'creek crawl.'
"A creek crawl is when you either float yourself (on inner tubes or such – usually only in warm weather) or take a little boat up the creek on a full rising tide. The object is to just let go, let loose, and let the tide carry you and your cares up the creek, enjoying the magnificent scenery and birds along the way!
"At high tide, my husband and I love to take our jon boat, named "Marsh Mellow" because of occasions just such as these, to Pritchard's Landing on Pawleys (usually with a nice bottle of wine and eatables). We motor down to the mouth of the South inlet of Pawleys and there ... the magical journey begins!
"The old bone-yard of Prince George lies at the mouth of this inlet. We kill the motor of the boat, pop the cork on the wine and just sit back and let the tide float our boat all the way up the creek into the breathtaking marshes of Pawleys Island, all the while waving, nodding our heads, or enjoying light conversation with folks on crab docks that we pass along the way. The journey usually takes about 45 minutes.
"Our favorite time to do this is on a rising tide at sunset ... this photo was taken from our jon boat as the sun was setting and we were floating by."
