It’s tempting to get stuck in the comings-and-goings of daily routine, but even in such a beautiful locale as Mount Pleasant, a little fresh scenery can do wonders for your brain and soul. In this spirit, we decided to take a little journey up Highway 17, north of Mount Pleasant and past Bulls Bay, to explore the towns that dot the coast between here and Myrtle Beach. There you’ll find a retro Southern diner with grits handmade by a lady known affectionately as Aunny, a photographer with a photojournalism degree from Kent State capturing beachy sunsets, a tiny wood-shingle chapel and so much more.
