Litchfield Beach

 

Litchfield Beach beckons those who desire luxury and sophistication. Litchfield's name comes from the 18th-century rice plantation, Litchfield Plantation. It started as a retreat beach that eventually developed into the beautiful community it is today.

 

Quietly nestled between Pawleys Island and Huntington Beach State Park, Litchfield Beach matches the upscale atmosphere of nearby resort beaches but is more peaceful than the busier tourist beach cities. The quiet community has an upscale, exclusive feel while welcoming you into a charming town. 

 

 

 

Litchfield Beach has a slow-paced, southern charm with its ancient live oak trees and beautiful landscapes. This beach town features boutique shops and unique eateries, providing low-key, refreshing outdoor recreational opportunities that allow you to soak up everything nature offers. 

 

 

Litchfield Beach is near a variety of unique dining and shopping establishments. Hanser House is a family-owned restaurant that serves hometown favorites and local seafood with a relaxed dining atmosphere. You will appreciate the spectacular views as you dine in an airy setting and dine on the seasonal fare or enjoy a specialty cocktail at Austin's Ocean One. If you are looking for in-house brewed beers, Quigley's Pint and Plate offers elevated low-country pub fare, and you can even enjoy a round of karaoke or trivia with friends. Kudzu Bakery is a local favorite for baked goods, bread, and specialty items.

 

Pipeline Surf Shop Resort Store is ready to fulfill all of your surfing needs. You can check out The Shops at Litchfield Market for more dining and shopping or get your nails done. Litchfield Books is a locally owned and operated bookstore that draws inspiration from the South Carolina Lowcountry for handpicking everything in the store. From books to eclectic gifts, you can find a little bit of everything here, and on Fridays, they host a Moveable Feast featuring cuisine from local eateries. A day trip to nearby cities will find you a plethora of other opportunities.

 

Bike paths weave throughout the communities, allowing you to get a little exercise and take in some scenery. Litchfield Beach has been named one of the best beaches in the country, and the pristine, family-friendly beaches are perfect for sunbathing, water sports, or just taking a leisurely sunset stroll.

 

A golfer's paradise, Litchfield Beach is near several stellar golf courses. Litchfield Country Club features the first course built on Pawleys Island and is popular with golfers of all skill levels. Litchfield Beach borders Huntington Beach State Park, where you can spend some time camping, perusing the secluded beach, bird watching, or surf fishing. Visit Atalaya, a gorgeous Moorish-style mansion, and the adjacent Brookgreen Gardens to explore.
