One of the earliest summer resorts on the East Coast of the United States, Pawleys Island is a pet lover’s beachside oasis located 24 miles (38.62 kilometers) from Myrtle Beach. The unspoiled beaches are the main attraction here and dogs are permitted to roam them year-round. Do note that from May 1 through September 30 dogs must be leashed, even in the water. Tail-waggers can go off leash from October 1 through April 30, but must listen to vocal commands. You can bring your furry compadre along for breakfast at Eggs Up Grill, an easygoing, affordable establishment with a pet-friendly patio. If you’re in the mood for Italian fare, you can check out Caffe Piccolo’s yummy menu while seated on the shaded pet-friendly patio.
