If you’re heading to Pawleys Island, you’ll want to block out a few hours (or more) for The Hammock Shops Village. Nestled under moss-draped oaks in a setting that feels timeless, this charming village blends shopping, dining, art, and simply relaxing in one walkable, delightful place. Whether you’re browsing for gifts, taking in coastal crafts, or indulging your appetite, The Hammock Shops Village delivers in full Lowcountry style.
What Makes It Special
Historic Craftsmanship & Hammocks
At the heart of the village is The Original Hammock Shop, in business since 1938. Here you can watch artisans hand‐weave the famous rope hammocks that are a Pawleys Island signature, and shop for hammocks, accessories, gifts, and cozy home goods.
Unique Shops & Local Flavor
You’ll find over 21 specialty shops, from beachwear boutiques and fine jewelry to pet boutiques, gourmet food, and home décor. Favorites include Pawleys Island Olive Oil, Elizabeth Paige Candles, the Salty Palm, Stella & Remi’s Southern Pecans, and Carolina Nature Nook. Whether you want something functional, beautiful, or just fun, there’s something here for you.
Delightful Dining
When hunger strikes, The Hammock Shops doesn’t disappoint. Try Local | Eat, Drink, Celebrate, which focuses on fresh, southern-inspired dishes in a warm, welcoming setting. Or stop in at BisQit, with made-from-scratch biscuits, comfort food, and milkshakes that hit just right. Perfect spots to recharge and savor local flavor.
Atmosphere & Leisure
The village itself invites you to slow down. Under ancient live oaks, there’s a playground for children, a gazebo for sitting and people‐watching or catching shade, a fountain, and open spots for games like cornhole. It’s both a shopping destination and a space to breathe.
Tips for Making the Most of Your Visit
- Go midday or early afternoon to avoid the crowd, especially on weekends.
- Wear something comfortable and bring sunscreen — even though there’s shade, you’ll be walking from shop to shop.
- Budget time to see live hammock weaving at the Weavers’ Shed—it’s not just shopping but getting a peek behind the craft.
- Grab a treat at one of the specialty food shops (like pecans or candies) to take home, or enjoy something fresh on site.
