Sewee Outpost

Driving south to Charleston to fly out and the wife needs to make a pit stop. There is and there isn’t much around if you know what I mean. This place shows up out of nowhere, looks like a gas station but does not at the same time. When you walk in, it’s like a general store barn that someone filled with all of the most interesting outdoor and low country gear and paraphernalia. We did not have time to browse the goods, just use the facility, but then my wife noticed the food counter in the back. I’ve seen this setup before in rural places and it’s a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ crap shoot as to whether its good eats or not. In Sewee’s case, it is very good eats. Full disclosure, I was just about starving, but the country ham biscuits were absolutely wonderful. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The biscuit itself was flaky and tasty and the ham/​sausage? was phenomenal. I am not actually sure what I was eating, I assume it was a type of sausage, but I savored that biscuit like it was manna from heaven. Thanks Sewee for the pleasant surprise. Tip — if you are road worn and looking to mix it up with some physical exercise, I did notice a frisbee golf layout next to the store.

The best place on earth! First they have all that is good in life; food, drink, disc golf, enough said.

Sometimes I wish I lived on the other side of Mount Pleasant so I could be closer to the Sewee Outpost, it’s that much fun.
This place is like candy land! Literally, they sell a lot of candy! Imagine your favorite convenient store on steroids, then throw in some disc golf, add a handful of rocking chairs, a smattering of books and paintings by local artists, then some yummy fresh-​made food (sandwiches, biscuits, etc) and you have the Outpost.
The disc golf course is solid but you will want to load up on some bug spray before braving the woods. Hole #4 with the sand mountain is a doosey!
If you’re not an outdoor sports kind of person the Outpost is a place where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a homemade chicken biscuit inside at one of the tables or out on the porch.

As you drive by it looks like a gas station, but it’s so much more. This place is a full on General store with everything from groceries to outdoor clothing and everything in between. They have home made stuff in the back for food and they have my favorite dog leashes. There’s a guy who makes them down at the farmers market from nautical lines. He’s very talented regarding rope splicing and knots etc… I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere else but here. They have nice outdoor clothes including brands like Carhardt and Columbia. I can’t even list every thing they have here. Kind of reminds me of a Mast General Store but smaller (if you’ve ever been to one).
Pro Tip: They’re Premium Fuel is Ethanol Free… harder and harder to find that these days and is necessary for some items.

Great homeade food in the back… especially the sandwiches. The staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable with any questions you may have about the surrounding Awendaw area. The right and back middle of the store are filled with all kinds of essentials… cookware, fishing rods, kids toys, clothing, hats… great selection with very reasonable prices. Lots of great Charleston memorabilia!

This is a great pit stop for anything you need. They have homemade casseroles, fishing equipment, crazy t-​shirts and local books about Charleston. It’s a tourist dream. All except it’s in the middle of nowhere and you’d only pass it on your way to Myrtle Beach, but what a find it is. If you are looking for great Charleston *stuff*, then stop by the next time you’re heading towards Awendaw!
