Stretching along Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, the Shem Creek Boardwalk offers panoramic views of surrounding salt marshes, shrimp boats, and Charleston Harbor.

Expert notes
- A must-do activity is to rent a paddleboard and explore the creek. Do not forget to bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. It's best to visit in the early evening to enjoy the sunset and then grab a bite to eat at one of the local seafood restaurants. This place is a local favorite for residents and visitors alike, and it is pet-friendly, making it an ideal spot for pet owners to enjoy a walk with their furry friends.
