The City of Charm: Things You Can't Miss in Charleston

18. Kayak Through Shem Creek at Sunset

For a more tranquil experience, paddle through Shem Creek, where dolphins surface beside your kayak, pelicans dive for fish, and the marshland glows in the golden light of sunset. This scenic waterway is one of the best spots to escape the crowds and experience Charleston’s Lowcountry wilderness up close. End your adventure with fresh seafood and a cold drink at one of the creekside restaurants, where you can watch shrimp boats come in for the night.
