Litchfield By The Sea (LBTS) is a premier gated oceanfront resort community in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, offering over a mile of private Atlantic beach access through its oceanfront Beach Club. Housing ranges from oceanfront estates to marsh-view villas and condominiums, spread among saltwater lakes, tidal creeks, and marsh. Several gated home communities sit within LBTS, including The Reserve at Litchfield.
Litchfield By The Sea is the private beach heart of the Waccamaw Neck — a gated, oceanfront resort community where the coastline itself is the main amenity. It's anchored by the oceanfront Beach Club, with over a mile of private Atlantic shoreline, a sundeck and pavilion overlooking the beach, and easy wheelchair-accessible beach access.
What makes LBTS distinct is the range of settings inside one gated address: oceanfront estates, marsh-view villas, and resort-style condominiums, all designed to sit quietly within the natural landscape rather than dominate it. It's also the shared amenity backbone for several of the area's most desirable gated neighborhoods, including The Reserve, which draws its private beach access from LBTS.
Amenities at Litchfield By The Sea include:
Location: LBTS sits along the Hammock Coast between Litchfield Beach and North Litchfield Beach, minutes from Huntington Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, and historic Atalaya Castle, with the dining and shopping of Pawleys Island and Murrells Inlet close by.
Communities within Litchfield By The Sea: Breakers Reef, Bridgewater, Charlestowne Grant, Compass Point, Lakeside Villas, Magnolia Run, Marsh Hawk, Osprey Watch Villas, Oystercatcher, Pelican Watch, Sandpiper Run, Seaside Inn, Shipyard Village, Somerset, and Summerhouse. Each offers its own setting — from oceanfront condominiums to marsh- and lake-view villas — while sharing full access to the LBTS amenity package: private beach, pools, tennis and pickleball, and the walking and biking trail network.
Homes: Ownership options run the full range — oceanfront and marsh-view single-family homes, villas, and condominium communities, which makes LBTS a fit for full-time residents, second-home buyers, and investment buyers alike.
