Shem Creek is a popular destination with diners and recreational boaters. Shrimp boats and dockside restaurants line the lower part of the creek, with the upper portions of the waterway winding past salt marsh and the private jetties of suburban Mount Pleasant.
Kayak and paddleboard tours offer a different perspective on this picturesque creek, with views across the Charleston harbor to the historic peninsula. Boat tours can see more of the harbor and the birds and wildlife of the bay.
