Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Pawleys Island

"Riding the towering SkyWheel is one of the top things to do in Myrtle Beach for families. With a max height of 190 feet, the largest Ferris wheel on the East Coast offers scenic views of the whole Grand Strand and Atlantic Ocean. Soak up the panoramas of the city’s downtown area as you ride one of the glass gondolas of this Ferris wheel."

"Located on Ocean Boulevard, the SkyWheel is over 187 feet tall and has 42 gondolas. Ride to the very top as you look over the Atlantic ocean glistening during the day or night. If you choose to ride it at night you will be able to see the lights displayed as well as ride the first observation wheel of its kind in the United States."

"There are multiple locations across the Grand Strand, but they all serve up the same menu items like appetizers, salads, burgers, and more. Of course, the biggest attraction here are the burgers, and most of them are less than $10 a pop. The burger menu here is long list of options, ranging from your standard burger to unique concoctions like the California Pizza Burger ($7.49), the Peanut Butter Banana Burger ($7.99), the Surf N Turf Burger ($7.79), and more."

"River City Cafe serves up a great selection of classic American eats including burgers, generous platters, and beach favorite sandwiches. River City Cafe features a decorative setting, with nick-nacks, novelties, and televisions adorned across the walls. Kids are definitely going to enjoy tossing peanut shells on the floor and coloring on the tables and walls!"

The pancake house also offers an extensive biscuit menu unlike anything we’ve seen before."

"There are pancake houses stacked on top pancakes houses here. There’s a rumor going around that there are more pancake houses in Myrtle Beach per capita than anywhere in the country. It’s a quintessential societal element, sort of like bodegas in New York City."

"With two beach-centric locations, Hot Stacks Pancake House offers breakfast options that span your average pancake house menu. One of the highlights on the menu includes their Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, which are layered with sweet cream cheese and topped with vanilla syrup. What’s more, they have plenty of vegan and gluten-free options to meet everyone’s dietary needs."

"When in Myrtle Beach, one of the best things to pass the time with is shopping. Whenever the heat of the sun gets too hot, you can always visit Grand Strand Plaza Shopping Center, where you can cool down by the air-con, drink a refreshing smoothie, or even buy local products to take home as souvenirs. Everything about the place, from its style to the featured stores, restaurants, and game center, is for the satisfaction and comfort of customers."

"After lunch, explore nearby Brookgreen Gardens. I was particularly excited about visiting the gardens because I love botanical gardens in general and I really wanted to see Spanish moss before leaving."
