Word on the street
What locals are saying
Shem Creek Boardwalk is a genuinely beloved local hangout in Mt. Pleasant — known as 'The Creek' to regulars — valued for its marsh and harbor views, dolphin sightings, wildlife like the resident egret 'Henry,' and easy access to waterfront bars and fresh seafood. The vibe skews lively and bar-heavy, and weekend mornings can bring complaints of lingering alcohol smells and crowds, but locals still return consistently for sunsets, kayaking, fishing, and casual dining. It draws tourists too, which some regulars find dilutes the atmosphere, but the free boardwalk and natural beauty keep it a Mt. Pleasant staple.
