Palweys Island, South Carolina, offers Lowcountry cooking in a coastal setting. This type of cuisine features fresh, local ingredients with a Caribbean and African flair. It includes mouth-watering dishes like she-crab soup, Hoppin' John, and shrimp and grits. This historic fishing village is still the perfect place to get fresh-caught fare, and you'll love trying the fish and seafood from the nearby waterways or game from the surrounding maritime forest.
