Just a short drive south, and a different world. Pawley's Island has LOTS of great eating places, and I've only just begun to sample them. For fine dining, Louis's at Pawley Island is special. He's THE lowcountry cooking genius in the business, and from the quail to the fried chicken, it's excellent. Butterscotch pudding!!! Try it, it's lovely. Also, down the road, is Frank's. Top notch quality, and come early to enjoy the beautiful bar before dinner. The duck there was excellent, and they have a very tantalizing wine list. For casual fun, the music at Creek Rats and Flo's, too much fun to describe. Go spend the day! sunday afternoons are very lively.

Never been to Pawley's Island, but it sounds nice. We'll add it to our list for our next MB trip!

I'm planning to move there in about 6 months. Man, am I excited! I love Austin but the water is calling me.

Make sure you come back and let us know what you think of Pawley's Island. We'd love to have more local perspective.
