BAREFOOT. Comprised of four individual sections, Barefoot Landing is a favorite destination among tourists, who love not only the shopping but the food and entertainment as well. Among the stores are several big name retailers ­ Big Dog Sportswear and Dress Barn to name a few ­ plus independents like the Barefoot General Store. Nighttime entertainment is in the form of music venues such as House of Blues and the Alabama Theatre, and pubs and bars for every taste. Sustenance is supplied by ice cream and coffee shops and chains such as Joe's Crab Shack and T-Bonz Gill & Grill.

BROADWAY. Live entertainment venues, nightclubs, dining, specialty shops and more all situated around a 23-acre freshwater lake. Shops include specialty apparel boutiques for women, men and kids, shoe stores and resort wear specialists. There's also a Build-A-Bear Workshop, art galleries, numerous jewelry and accessory stores, and souvenir and gift shops. Dining and nightlife options include everything from seafood to pizza and rock 'n roll to classical, with a number of national chains represented. Entertainment options range from Ripley's Aquarium and miniature golf to movie theaters and a baseball stadium. Individual business hours vary.

The original Pawleys Island Hammock Shop drew such a steady stream of tourists that several additional shops and restaurants sprung up in its shadow. Today, you'll find not only hammocks, but a nice array of other goods, from candles and children's clothing to Christmas decorations and jewelry. There are gourmet and South Carolina specialty food shops, an Audubon gift shop, and a couple of art galleries as well. And at lunchtime, whether you're looking for a bite on the go or a full sit down meal, you'll find it here. Individual business hours vary, but most shops are open Mon-Sat 9:30am-6pm and Sun noon-5pm.
