10 Things to Do in Pawleys Island in June

Visiting with friends? If you’re old enough to drink, head on down to Murrells Inlet and book a cruise with the East Coast BrewBoat.

Guests of all ages are welcome, but those who want to drink or bring beer or wine aboard must be 21+. Feeling tired? Lucky for you, the BrewBoat is equipped with an electric motor just in case.
