See These Iconic Spots on Your Bike Tour of Pawleys Island

The ride across the North Causeway along the Pawleys Island Loop gives riders a spectacular view of the marsh and wetlands. Depending on where you start, you may pass the Pawleys Island Pier and the Nature Park along the 3.5-mile loop. 

Take Waverly Road to meet up with the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway, a popular paved trail that runs from Pawleys Island through Litchfield to Murrells Inlet. Ride past the Waccamaw Regional Recreation Center, Regional Tennis Center, and the Waccamaw Library along Waverly Road and Kings River Road before the trail merges with Highway 17. 

It’s about six miles from Pawleys Island to Murrells Inlet with the majority of the path running parallel to Highway 17. 

Explore Brookgreen Gardens, where bikes are welcome on the main roads. Be aware there is an admission charge. But once inside the gardens, enjoy numerous beautiful sculptures, blooms, and art. 

Or enjoy the three miles of paved bike trails within the boundaries of Huntington Beach State Park. There, you can see Atalaya Castle and the Nature Center. Park the bike and enjoy a hike along one of the park’s interpretive trails, including the Kerrigan Trail, which leads to a deck over Mullet Pond. It is excellent for birdwatching. 

North of the state park, discover Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk, which includes a boardwalk and amazing views of the marsh, the inlet, Goat Island, and the marina. 

Across the highway is Morse Park Landing, a small park that features a Lost at Sea Memorial and scenic creek views. 

At this point, you can continue on to the Pier at Garden City, or head back and stop by the beach for a breathtaking look at the Atlantic Ocean.  

Our partners, VayK Gear and Vacation Gear, rent bicycles and deliver them to your vacation rental so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
