Pawleys Island Live Cam

While other areas compete to be the center of the action, the Old 96 district is tucked away, secure in its own beauty and charm, and yet still accessible to the traveler who knows what he is looking for. Locals refer to their western border as South Carolina's Freshwater Coast.

Strom Thurmond Lake is the largest lake south of the Great Lakes and east of the Mississippi River, and just above it, on the Savannah River, is Richard B. Russell Lake. These two lakes combine for over 1,750 miles of shoreline. Along these shores are hundreds of state-operated campsites. At a time when many small, rural areas are trying hard to attract new business, the leaders of Old 96 have taken a different approach. They have invested in their past, restoring downtown areas, soliciting pollution-free industry, and pursuing the history-minded eco-tourist.
