Why Winter Makes the Perfect Romantic Escape

When you want to whisk your special someone away for a romantic interlude this winter, South Carolina’s charming coast makes an excellent choice. Winter scenes can be snowy and white, or sandy and bright. We choose sun and sand. 

Pawleys Island offers a romantic setting with scenic landscapes, cozy restaurants, and a peaceful vibe. The seclusion experienced during the winter makes it even appealing. 

 

Book a beach cottage like the Laughing Place, with a deck and screened porches that offer spectacular ocean views and creek access. Sit and watch the sunrise on the pier. Or take the stairs to the top deck for that breathtaking view of the Atlantic. The cozy cabin feel sets the mood for a cozy weekend.

Or book Peaceful Serenity or Kay’s Cottage, located in the True Blue golf community. Both properties are steps from the golf course and a short drive from the beach. Our rentals include everything guests need for a comfortable stay. And you can get in some quality time together on the golf course. 

To celebrate your time together, reserve a table at Frank’s & Frank’s Outback, which offers an intimate setting and candlelight dining. Expect an exquisite meal with a menu that changes seasonally. The wine list offers a dazzling array of international vineyards, with many wines offered by the glass.

 

The Chive Blossom Restaurant & Bar raises the bar on the coastal dining experience with Southern fare, and Mediterranean, French and Asian influences. The atmosphere makes any occasion seem special, even a winter getaway. On a nice evening, enjoy your meal in the courtyard. 

The great thing about a romantic getaway is that you don’t have to do much of anything. A simple walk on the beach provides its own entertainment, with crashing waves, the ocean breeze and a gorgeous view. 

 

If you want to spend more time in a beautiful setting, explore Brookgreen Gardens. Soak up coast culture in one place with history, art and a stunning botanical showcase, all on 9,000 beautiful acres. Live Oak Alley is a majestic row of 250-year-old trees, while the American Sculpture collection features more than 2,000 works by 430 artists. There’s even a zoo! 

 

Plan a getaway for you and your significant other for the most romantic winter vacation you’ve ever taken.
