Fine Dining

Fine dining in the Pawleys Island/Murrell’s Inlet area embodies a charming shabby-chic vibe, where formality takes a backseat to relaxed elegance. There's no need for a "coat and tie" here—“dressy beach attire” is the go-to. Expect to see a delightful mix of styles, ranging from elegant evening wear to sundresses, khakis, polos, and even nice shorts. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the busy season, when you might need to book weeks in advance to secure a spot.

Here are some personal thoughts on a few of the dining establishments.
