Since those now-distant days of Cap’n Josh, Pawley’s Island Hammock Shop continually improved upon their core materials and, where it’s made sense to, expanded their line of products.

In addition to their classic cotton-rope Original, they now also offer rope hammocks in all-weather, cottony-soft DuraCord and soft-spun white polyester, as well as a selection of richly designed fabric hammocks, hammock-inspired swings, hammock stands, swing stands and key relaxation accessories.

For years you could only find the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock in the cozy little Original Hammock Shop in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Many of their rope-hammock bodies are still woven right there, in much the same manner as back in Cap’n Josh’s time.

Yet today, the Pawleys Island brand – the most-recognized hammock brand ever – is also carried by numerous top-line retailers worldwide, distributed from their company headquarters in Greenville, North Carolina.
