We love this farmer’s market. Compared to ones I have visited in California, Seattle, Washington DC, this is but a tiny slice of the volume of vendors in the bigger cities. Nevertheless, the quality and variety of goods sold here is quite incredible. Prepared foods that you can eat on the spot include lo mein, potstickers, bbq, paella, brick oven pizza, crab in many forms, fresh oysters, soups, and sandwiches. Of course produce varies throughout the seasons, but with coastal South Carolina’s mild winters, many fruits and vegetables make early appearances. The first crop of local strawberries were already available on 2/8/2020, along with green onions, brussels sprouts, rainbow colored carrots, and more. Other products featured were hearth baked breads, sweet rolls, pies, quick breads, fresh ravioli and pasta, milk, eggs, cheese, meats, flowers, plants, honey, jams, and fresh shrimp. A raptor rescue group participates every Saturday and they bring a great variety of birds of prey. They are incredibly knowledgeable. To be able to see these creatures up close is truly an exhilarating experience. We are blessed to have these wonderful farmers, bakers, fishermen, and other vendors provide their goods and services to locals and visitors alike.

What a great store. Beautiful clothing and accessories for you and the house. It's great that they have larger sizes since I am 6 ft. What a surprise that this little town has this great a store.

Pretty little cypress swamp that too many people miss. Quiet, gentle walk around and through a stunning cypress swamp. Not a long trail, but worth the time . The rookery is amazing ! Fat bullfrogs, ibis, cormarents, turtles, turtles and more turtles and alligators. Hidden alligators and alligators inplain sight. alligators you are standing literally over and dont see til they move. Really a great spot ! Kids and adults would love it. I can see why so many proposals happen here. This is such a quaint little spot with so much natural beauty its hard to believe its a stone throw from the Base and the industry. Even the tiny little amitheater is a great spot to people watch .

This spot has several interesting things to do... 1. the boardwalk over the water affords a great look into the water and back to the shore. Several people were fishing along the way. A very nice stroll. 2. The 4 story watch tower gives amazing views of the water, marsh, boardwalk and shore. 3. The beach nearby has tons of shells, and even some sea glass and sharks' teeth for those who like to beachcomb. We even found a couple white sharks' teeth, which are quite rare finds normally. They say people go to the beach there and swim in summer... but it seemed like I would want shoes because of the shells. A great spot!
