I've read a few of the SC area postings in this thread, though could use some recommendations on ramps, tide conditions (they are much higher than NJ) or good waterfront restaurants/ pubs/ things to see in a Montauk by water. 1984 Montauk

Shem creeks ramp is accessible during all tides and has a light current for ease in launching. It is lined with restaurants, bars and shrimp boats. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Actually just talking to another CDN tonite about Shem Creek. He stayed at the Shem Creek Inn and loved it. Work takes me down to Charleston and this March will be my fifth trip. Y'all throw a great party down there!

Another place there's a restaurant on the water you can dock at is on Bohicket (sp?) creek. It's actually another Red's Icehouse. My wife and I usually pick up some samiches, or some wangs and have a picnic on Little Bear Island, Morris Island, or sometimes we go down below Beaufort to Trenchard's Inlet. My e-mail address is in my profile, send me a message and I'll give you more details. And don't listen to Huckleberry.
