Shem Creek is Mount Pleasant's popular waterfront dining and drinking district. It has a park and boardwalk offering panoramic views of the marsh and Charleston. There are many restaurants lining Shem Creek as well as kayak and paddleboard rentals. We can almost 100% guarantee you will see dolphins swimming through the creek. Shem Creek is one of our favorite places in Charleston! Food recommendations on Shem Creek: Saltwater Cowboys (Get the trashcan nachos and be sure to check out the top viewing deck) Tavern and Table also has good food and a great view. Drinks: Red's Icehouse or Muddy's at Vickery's
