Coastal Towns and Straight-Off-the-Boat Seafood

Follow the coastline through fishing villages, barrier islands and Lowcountry marshes where life still moves with the tides. Take an airboat trip out through the creeks, try your hand at fishing or crabbing off the docks, and keep an eye out for the occasional dolphin or manatee. Then settle in at an old fishing village to enjoy fresh caught seafood with a view from a screened-in porch and cold beer.
