Always a popular stop in a narrow, but well protected span of water behind a small island just south of the Hwy. 17 bridge, just a stone’s throw from Charleston and the Ashley River.

Behind the island in the Wappoo Creek is about the best [anchorage near Charleston] – and you can dinghy to the Charleston Crab House restaurant and walk a half mile to a Piggly Wiggly and a Subway and a liquor store – though not necessarily in that order. You can dock temporarily at the City Marina for $5 an hour but the overnight transient rate is outrageous unless you are of mega-yacht status.
