I'll see if I can dig up some old pictures. The last time I was there was in the early 1970's. When I first started going there (early 60's), there weren't any condo's, and the pier was open to the public. And the pavilion was great! As I recall (and I'm really reaching here), Lachicotte's was a small mom and pop grocery store at the corner of the north causeway, and Ocean Hwy. Yeah, it's been a while.

You're welcome!

Tell him appreciate them very much and thank him for sharing.

Here in Ohio we are preparing for a huge ice storm late this evening so looking at these beach pictures is very uplifting.

Found some.

Picture quality is not great, but what the heck, they're 48 year old snapshots. These are from our vacation on Pawleys Island, back in 1963. I was 6 years old, at the time.

Me, out on the dock


That's me, fishing in the creek


On the beach, with my dad, and our dog


This is my favorite fishing trip of all times. A relative lived on the Island, so naturally we would stop by and visit when we were there on vacation. He offered to get his boat out and take my dad and me flounder fishing in the creek. Couldn't turn down that offer. And I caught the big one.

Loved, loved, loved your pictures! Thanks so much for posting

Awesome pics! Those look like the area that's now known as Bird's Nest, near the Southern end of the island. The flounder photo looks like the location where I frequently launch a kayak - there's a boat landing there now, but my kayak has never seen any flounder quite like that. The good old days... Thanks for sharing.

Great photos Muonic, thanks for sharing. And the photo of you holding the fish does look like the yard next to the last house on Pritchard St next to the boat landing, although the houses in the background have changed considerably!

My husband took this picture the other night with his phone. I love the look of it, so thought I'd share.
