Dining in Pawleys Island

The Americans have an expression for more upmarket restaurants, "fine dining." Pawleys Island has a good choice of these as well as the usual mix of American, Italian and Mexican. Eating breakfast out is popular and portions are large! Strangely you will not find Indian restaurants and only a few Chinese retsaurants, which tend to be buffets, in the whole Grand Strand.
