Order up anything on the menu. It's all good. Gullah Grub has been featured in Martha Stewart's "Living" and visited by television icon Anthony Bourdain in his series, "No Reservations."

Also, just a short 11 miles to the east is South Carolina's most popular state park: Hunting Island State Park. It's an excursion that's totally worth the drive and the small admission fee.

The grounds of this historic lighthouse offer much in the way of exploration. There are several outbuildings as well as four miles of pristine beach that will make you feel like you're a million miles from everything.
