Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, may be the largest coastal town in the state, but it still feels like a “small town with a big experience.” Golden marsh views, walkable historic streets, and hundreds of family-owned shops and restaurants give it a warm Lowcountry character, while its shrimping and fishing heritage stays alive along Shem Creek as boats deliver the day’s catch. Nearly a dozen coastal parks and trails offer shaded paths, waterfront boardwalks, and dolphin-spotting views, making outdoor time an everyday ritual before evenings of fresh seafood, Southern comfort cooking, and harborfront sunsets. The Old Village Historic District serves as the town’s unofficial Main Street, with centuries-old homes, grand oaks, and small local eateries that preserve Mount Pleasant’s early charm. The town’s biggest celebrations highlight its roots, from the annual Blessing of the Fleet & Seafood Festival to the Sweetgrass Festival honoring Gullah Geechee culture. From April through September, the lively Farmers Market brings growers, makers, and weekly music together, creating a true community gathering that reflects Mount Pleasant’s welcoming spirit. #AmericasFavoriteSmallTowns
