Pawleys Kayaks

Pawleys Kayaks is a delivery-based rental service for the Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach area rather than a launch-side counter. The pitch is “all included” pricing: the listed rate covers paddles, life jackets, cleaning, delivery, pick-up, and taxes, with rentals available by the day or the week. That model suits vacation rentals — the kayaks show up at your house or beach access, and you paddle Pawleys Creek and the marsh behind the island on your own schedule.

The fleet goes well beyond kayaks: single and double kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, surfboards, bikes, beach chairs, tents and shade, beach games, and even crab traps and lines are on the list, so one order can outfit a whole week at the beach. Pawleys Island itself is one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast — see our Pawleys Island page — and the tidal creek behind it is calm, scenic paddling with public access points covered in our Launch Sites guide. If you’re deciding between renting and hauling your own boat down, this guide walks through the tradeoff.
