What to eat on Shem Creek.

I know you're in South Carolina you want to go to the beach, downtown Charleston, and plantations but you should know that there are several options right on Shem Creek (especially if you are staying at Shem Creek Inn).

My recommendations are:
You can see these 3 directly from the Shem Creek Inn:

Vickery's - bar/casual dining, Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marsh located next to Shem Creek Inn, ave

Red's Ice House - bar/very casual dining, mostly outdoor seating located across the creek from the hotel

RB's - fine dining on the water, located across the creek from the hotel

Nearby:

Bambu - fantastic sushi & Asian bar. The outdoor patio is great and spacious, located up Coleman Blvd. at 604 Coleman Blvd. Just a few miles from the hotel

Sette VII - Italian restaurant, located at the intersection of Coleman and mill street, delicious food and great desserts

Mustard Seed - this place is always packed and it looks like a house, but they have the best food. I love anything with fried green tomatoes. It's about 2 miles up the road from Shem Creek Inn, 1036 Chuck Dawley Blvd,

And this is just a few...let me know if you need more recommendations. Coleman Blvd. is packed with bars and fine dining.

I almost forgot you can Kayak on Shem Creek too! I've never done this but it looks fun! Check it out here, http://www.coastalexpeditions.com/index.php?page=mt-pleasant
