For those journeying to Charleston, the quaint area known as Shem Creek is at the top of the must-see list. But don’t be fooled by the word creek — Shem Creek is actually a broad, inviting estuary where active shrimpers, fun-loving boaters, and seafood seeking locals congregate. This charming section of Mount Pleasant draws outdoor enthusiasts to its flanking boardwalks where kayak and paddleboard rentals, sunset cruises and fishing charters await. “Outer Banks” enthusiasts will recognize “The Wreck” restaurant, known to locals as “The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene”.
