The creek's biggest little stretch of water

With music on the docks this week, it's a good moment to bookmark our guide to everything worth doing on Shem Creek — where to eat, where to drink, and where to park. It's the one page we send people who ask what to do with visitors.

More Mt P between Mondays — we're on Instagram at @mountpleasantscoop with events, gems, and the occasional sunset that doesn't look real.
