Pawleys Island Pace, Intracoastal Adventure

Pawleys Island visitors come for the quiet — the historic cottages, the unspoiled beach, the kind of vacation that doesn't need a theme park. Island Adventure Watersports matches that energy perfectly, just 25 minutes north on Hwy 17.

We're located on the Intracoastal Waterway in a stretch of protected nature preserve — calm freshwater, cypress trees draped in Spanish moss, ospreys overhead, and not a high-rise in sight. It's the kind of waterway experience Pawleys Island visitors appreciate: natural, unhurried, and genuinely beautiful.

Whether you want a guided jet ski tour through hidden tributaries or a relaxing tiki boat cruise with your crew, we're the outdoor adventure that fits your Pawleys Island vacation perfectly.
