The Pelican Inn

The Pelican Inn

Visitors who love history and a relaxed and natural setting will adore a lazy stay at The Pelican Inn – a charming eight bedroom bed and breakfast that has long roots in the Pawleys Island community. Built in the 1840s and renovated to its current inviting yet still historic condition, this laid-back accommodations option has a wealth of amenities to keep guests comfortable, as well as plenty of waterfront adventures waiting in veritably all directions.

Guests staying at The Pelican Inn will enjoy direct beach access as well as a private dock that overlooks the adjacent salt marsh, which is perfect for catching an evening sunset or tossing out a crab trap. All guests are served both a homemade breakfast and midday dinner every day, with a menu that shines a spotlight on traditional low country cuisine, and which features local ingredients and homemade desserts. The rooms can accommodate up to four guests, and feature modern conveniences like air conditioning, but are also outfitted with period wood furnishings and ceiling fans to create an old-school atmosphere. With lovely views of the adjacent waters and plenty of way to relax, guests will feel right at home as this enticing and historical Pawleys Island getaway.
