SOUTHERN REIMAGINED™
A BLOG FROM THE DEWBERRY
June 21, 2018 It’s the Summer Solstice and the Holy City’s steeple-flecked sunsets are stellar this time of year. In honor of summer’s longest day, we’ve rounded up five more vantage points to catch the evening’s light show. Mt. Pleasant A bit of a local’s secret, this narrow marsh-flanked park located on the site of the now-decommissioned Sullivan’s Island Bridge offers panoramic views from the Isle of Palms to the Ravenel Bridge, silhouetting the downtown skyline as the day dies. Downtown/Mt. Pleasant If you don’t mind working for your sunset reward, lace up your sneakers and hike to the top of this iconic expanse. Well-placed benches at the bridge’s crest are some of the best seats in town. Mt. Pleasant You can drive or boat to this recently-built boardwalk near the mouth of Shem Creek, Mt. Pleasant’s picturesque shrimping hub. Grab dinner and drinks before or after sunset at one of the creek’s handful of seafood restaurants. Downtown Stroll through this historic oak-dotted green space at the corner of East Bay Street and Murray Boulevard. As the sun dips, cross the street at James Island Pull up a stool at the river-facing outdoor bar at this old-school oyster house on James Island to watch the sun sink over Folly Creek.
