Beach Day Dining Starts at Saltwater Cowboys

We love Creek life. That’s pretty clear across our blogs and definitely our social media. (Go follow us if you haven’t!) But as much as these docks are our home, some days are just made for the sea. Located just minutes from Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms, Saltwater Cowboys makes an easy stop before the beach, after the beach or anywhere in between. Whether you’re grabbing brunch, cooling off with drinks or stopping by for a bite on the way home, we’ve got you covered.

You could start the day with Sunday brunch on Shem Creek.

Heading to the coast before noon? Drop by SWC for a Sunday brunch by the water. Saltwater Cowboys is serving up breakfast classics with a Lowcountry twist, plus Bloody Marys, mimosas and more that’ll set the vibes high for a long day in the sun. As one of the go-to spots for outdoor dining in Charleston, brunch on Shem Creek is an easy way to slow down before the beach crowds roll in.

Stop in for pre-beach lunch any day of the week.

Heading toward Sullivan’s Island or Isle of Palms? Saltwater Cowboys is the go-to lunch stop before you hit the sand. 

Seafood, tacos, sandwiches, southern BBQ and cold drinks make it easy for everyone to find a favorite that’ll keep them full and happy. Plus, with plenty of open-air seating and waterfront views, lunch on Shem Creek acts as a sneak preview of the fun to come.

If you’re searching for Mount Pleasant restaurants near the water, Saltwater Cowboys should be on your list.

Feed Fido before his long walk!

Beach days are better when the whole crew can come. That’s why Saltwater Cowboys is proud to be one of Charleston’s dog-friendly restaurants. We’ve primed and prepped our outdoor seating and a laid-back atmosphere to welcome four-legged friends and even crafted a pet menu to match. 

For pets who need extra room, check out The Corral, an outdoor space with umbrella-covered seating and comfy turf, located on the front of SWC. After a long walk on the beach or around Shem Creek, it’s the perfect place to cool off and grab a bite together. 

View our Dog Treat Menu to pre-plan and view bites that’ll satisfy even the pickiest pups. You can find dog-friendly adventures and dining details in our blog.

End the day back on the Creek.

After a long day in the sun, nobody really wants to cook. That’s why Saltwater Cowboys is the perfect final stop on the way home. Grab dinner by the water, chill out with cocktails or pick up takeout and call it a beach day. Want dinner with a view? Our rooftop dining space is the best place to catch a sunset on Shem Creek.
