Top Things to Eat & Savor

  • Try the Local Catch

    Seafood doesn’t get fresher than this.
    Whether it’s grilled, blackened, or fried, you’ll find shrimp, oysters, crab, and fish straight from nearby waters on menus across the island.

  • Grab a Bite with a View

    Ocean breezes and Back River sunsets set the mood.
    Dine al fresco at beachfront cafés or dockside restaurants where the scenery is as good as the food.

  • Indulge in Lowcountry Classics

    Comfort food with deep coastal roots.
    Taste Southern staples like shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, fried green tomatoes, and hush puppies, often with a family recipe twist.

  • Don’t Miss Breakfast & Brunch

    Mornings here are made for slow starts and good coffee.
    From beachside diners to cozy cafés, fuel up with pancakes, crab omelets, or biscuits smothered in gravy.

  • Taste the Sweet Side of the South

    Pralines, pies, and peach cobbler, oh my.
    Dessert shops and bakeries offer everything from old-fashioned treats to ice cream cones perfect for a post-beach stroll.

  • Sip Something Local

    Raise a glass to coastal life.
    Enjoy frozen cocktails, craft brews, or wine bars featuring Georgia vineyards and local spirits, many with live music on the side.
