Why August Is The Best Time For Pawleys Island Patio Dining

Dining outdoors in Pawleys Island offers the best views, food and drinks. There’s no better way to take advantage of the warm Carolina Coast August weather than with a patio dining experience. Whether you’re out for lunch or stopping by the Chive Blossom courtyard for a glass of wine in the evening, patio dining is a must in August.

Pawleys Island dining al fresco is not only a great way to enjoy the end of summer, but it’s also the best way to experience changing menus, smaller crowds and a relaxing ambiance. Enjoy Chive Blossom patio dining this August and take in these three special factors.

Shifting Menus

At the end of summer, produce and seafood availability begins to change. Many Pawleys Island restaurants will transition to a fall menu. Visit the Chive Blossom Courtyard and try one of our al fresco-inspired pairings. Pair a lighter entrée with a glass of Pinot Noir or a chilled sangria. If spicy food is more your speed, choose a Pinot Gris; the wine will stand up to the heat of a fiery dish.
