💡 Palmetto Pro-Tip: The Food Hack

Don't fall for the high-end tourist traps on King Street for every meal. For genuine Lowcountry flavor at a fraction of the cost:

  • Seafood Shacks: Head toward Mt. Pleasant for local catches at "order-at-the-counter" prices.
  • Happy Hour Specials: Many historic district bistros offer half-priced oysters and appetizers between 4-6 PM.
  • Waterfront Picnics: Grab a Po'boy from a local deli and eat at Joe Riley Waterfront Park by the Pineapple Fountain!
