Nice Weather?! - Go have some lunch or sunset cocktails on Shem Creek. Beautiful views of the marsh, harbor, and the Ravenel Bridge. A very popular local place where boaters will come and tie up on a weekend. Reds Icehouse and Saltwater Cowboy often have music on weekends. People cut out early on Fridays from work for happy hours on the dock when the weather is nice so expect some crowds!
Watch the paddle boarders and kayaks struggle coming back in when the tides are going out, and lots of dolphins and bird life.
