The Pelican Inn

500 S Ocean Blvd, Pawleys Island, SC 29585

The Pelican Inn carries legends, most notably that of 'The Gray Man,' a famous Pawleys Island ghost. Legend says he appears as a warning before hurricanes, urging residents to leave. While associated more broadly with the island, sightings have been linked to the areas around historic structures like the Pelican Inn. Another tale involves 'Sue,' possibly a former servant or guest, who is said to wander the inn, tidying up or making gentle appearances, usually perceived as non-threatening.
