Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is so overcrowded you can barely walk there's no place to park the bugs are horrible. I don't even know why this is rated in the top 10 of Mount Pleasant as there are so many better things to do. I recommend skipping this we tried to go here twice in our visit it could not even find a place to park the first time. Enjoy Mount Pleasant but not here!

Great place for a walk, very peaceful and lots of scenery. This was suggested to me by a local working at our hotel.
According to the local lore, the bridge was the first causality of the Civil War as the Union forces on Fort Sumter destroyed it as it was used to supply Fort Moultrie. Haven't read anything to verify this but its sounds plausible and makes for a good excuse to visit here. If you need one. Nonetheless it gives an interesting perspective as you can see both forts from here.

It use to be a quiet spot to walk or watch the sunset. There are now no parking spaces available and no sidewalks just a free for all of traffic and golf carts. Crowds of people and dogs making it hard to appreciate the view of Charleston over their heads. I guess this is just the future of Mt. Pleasant.

Take some time out of your day and walk across the Pitt Street Bridge. It's very relaxing and quiet. It is especially beautiful right at sunset. You will need to park your car at the entrance and walk the remaining distance, but it's definitely worth it. If you have a dog, it would be the perfect place to go for a walk or run with your dog. I'd highly suggest taking a small bit of time and add this to your list of places to see. Check out our blog!

I really like the Pitt Street bridge. It’s not really a bridge anymore, more like a dock. I usually do my 3 mile run around the old village. I run to the bridge and enjoy the view. The long walk/run down the walkway is nice and the views from the dock are very nice.

This Pier is a little off the beaten path and limited parking with tough turn around can be a challenge. However once you get there it’sa very nice environment. The walk to the actual pier is under a quarter mile of flat paved sidewalk with frequent benches. A ramp leads up to the pier itself. There is one handicap parking space and the walk can be a distance challenge for some. The pier itself has space for many fishermen with perfect environment for speckled trout, flounder, drum and lots of pinfish/bait fish. There are no restrooms or drinking water anywhere near the park or pier. So plan ahead. I have not been there after dark but there are street lights present.

This is a pretty outdoor area where you can take in the views of the city, the creek and waterfront.

This is a great place for a peaceful walk or run. You can park on one side of the road and walk the asphalt path until you get to the wooden decking of the bridge. It is pet friendly.

The actual Pitt Street Bridge no longer exists (closed in 1945). You can walk out through a nicely landscaped "linear park" until you get to the wooden structure (part of former bridge). From the end, you look out over a great view of Sullivan's Island.
When we were there, the activities we observed were dog walking, running, biking, and fishing. We did a little bird watching ourselves (got the closest to a kingfisher than I've ever been in my life!). There are benches all along the way.
Just a very neat place that we will revisit when we return to Mt. Pleasant to visit our two granddaughters there.

I ride my bike out to this place every time I'm in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant, and it's simply delightful. The views of the intracoastal waterway, Sullivan's Island and Charleston Bay are quite lovely. One can reminisce about the old days when the trolley car traversed this bridge over to Sullivan's Island and stopped at all the island's Stations, which still exist in name today, e.g., Station 22, etc. There is a lovely park with benches leading up to the bridge.

Hi, I am from Florence and looking for a nice place to fish, crab and relax this spring or early summer with my family. If anyone has any information about fishing specifics here (tide?, is May good for fish and crab? bait? etc.) sorry we are just beginners looking to enjoy, so any information would be great.
Thanks, Steve.

I don't know anything about fishing, but when I walked the bridge, there were a ton of fishermen there. Also a lot of dolphins who I assume were feeding on the fish.
I was there in October. Not sure if May is any different.

Hey and good morning. The Pitt Street Bridge has been a big part of my life since I was a child. Fishing off of it when it was nothing more than cement pilings and a small walkway was how I spent many a summer morning. My mother and father's ashes were scattered in the tidal creek there.
My fiancée and I are planning to get married there on December 31st. I think I remember some guidelines when it comes to occasions like this happening there. 25 guests max, correct? Anything else we should know?

Where does this Bridge take you? How far is it from The Quality Inn in Mt Pleasant? Can you take it from Mt Pleasant to Sullivan Beach?

On Shem Creek there are several choices; depends on your taste and for dinner--your $$. Lunches, by definition, are all within a few $$ of each other. Personally I like Waters Edge for closer to fine dining at perhaps a few bucks more but worth it; for lunch it is within prices of all the others. It has a great glassed in area for a/c views of creek while having your mean be it lunch or dinner. Had my 50th wedding anniv party there. I also like the covered outdoor nice weather porch of Tavern and Table right across the creek from Waters Edge.Thats me and my opinion.
