About Skull Creek Boathouse
Skull Creek Boathouse is a waterfront gem that's become a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike. This place has it all - fantastic seafood, breathtaking views, and a lively atmosphere that'll make you want to stay all day.
Location
Nestled on the north end of Hilton Head Island, Skull Creek Boathouse offers stunning views of Skull Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway. It's a stone's throw from Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, making it the perfect pit stop after a day of outdoor adventures.
Must-Try Menu Items
The seafood here is the star of the show. I always go for the Lowcountry Boil - it's packed with shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Sushi Bomb or the Oyster Shooter. And don't even think about leaving without tasting their key lime pie!
Unique Features
What sets Skull Creek apart is its Dive Bar - an outdoor bar area with a laid-back vibe and killer cocktails. They also have live music most nights, which really adds to the ambiance. Oh, and did I mention the sunset views? Absolutely unbeatable.
Vibe
The vibe here is casual and fun, perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends. It's busy and bustling, with a mix of tourists and locals. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner, this might not be your spot. But for a lively meal with great food and even better views? You can't beat it.
