Island Shops Cafe - A Table For Four Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

digndirt: I was informed that the owner of Earthly Treasures has vacated the store, has retired and that the cache may be missing. I checked today and, sadly, the cache is no more. The previous store owner did leave it in place but he failed to inform the new occupants of the cache's existance. Not knowing what it was (the cammo was that good) the new folks threw it in the trash. I'm going to archive it but I might create another one closer to home which will make it much easier for me to maintain.

2010 Gems of the Grand Strand Winner

The Island Shops in Pawleys Island are a group of shops built over a natural cypress swamp. When visiting here you will be greeted by many varieties of waterfowl. When I last visited I saw ducks, geese, and swans.

The shops are open 7 days a week. Typical hours are M - F 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. with variable hours on the weekend. The hours will be longer during the summer. Please don't search for the cache when the shops are closed because there is very little lighting and a flashlight may draw the attention of the local police who may not be sympathetic to your endeavors.

When accessing the cache, you will be required to walk into the cypress swamp. Well, not literally in the swamp, but above the swamp via the network of boardwalks. Have fun and don't forget to photograph and feed the wildlife.
