South Carolina's Hammock Coast

Discover South Carolina’s Hammock Coast

Nestled between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, the Hammock Coast is one of America’s oldest and most charming vacation destinations. Stretching from Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach to Murrells Inlet, DeBordieu Colony, and southern Garden City, it’s a paradise of pristine beaches, salt marshes, and southern charm. Paddle through calm creeks, reel in blue crabs, or simply relax where the rope hammock was born. Award-winning beaches—Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and Huntington Beach—make this a top coastal escape. Explore Brookgreen Gardens’ breathtaking sculptures and Huntington Beach State Park’s wildlife. From fresh seafood in Murrells Inlet to teeing off on world-class golf courses, the Hammock Coast delivers the best of South Carolina’s coast.
