About Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is a coastal South Carolina town across the harbour from Charleston, with shrimp boats, an aircraft carrier museum and Lowcountry marsh.
Mount Pleasant lies on the east side of Charleston Harbor, linked to Charleston by the Ravenel Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge with two diamond-shaped towers. The Old Village, near the water, keeps its small historic houses and a quiet main street, and Shem Creek, a tidal creek where shrimp boats dock, is lined with waterside restaurants and boat tours.
Top-ranked sights in Mount Pleasant: Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens, Shem Creek Park.
