Pawleys Island Location

33.4332, -79.1214

33.43322, -79.12143 View on OpenStreetMap →

Pawleys Island sits at 33.4332°N, 79.1214°W, on the coast of South Carolina, United States. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
