But those plantations also produced malaria-carrying mosquitoes, so the landowners sent their families to the seashore for the summer and built the first houses on Pawleys Island starting in 1822. The end of slavery doomed the rice culture, and the old plantations were sold to rich Northerners for hunting and fishing retreats. By the 1960s, many of the old plantations were turned into golf courses, reviving the economy. But the beating heart of Pawleys Island remains the rhythm of the sea and what one early visitor called \"the only beach in the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Roberts, Lee Brockington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467129437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467129435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Steve Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992042275071,"sku":"9781467129435","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fda067d-71a8-4082-a994-e6f89da9d274.jpg?v=1683313714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pawleys-island-steve-roberts-9781467129435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
