Outside the Inn
Sailors say the distinctive red roof is visible three miles out across the bay, and that the once plentiful
sailing ships aligned their wheels From a shaded rocker on the inn’s long porches, views of the time-worn brick and tabby warehouse, weathered docks hosting shrimp boats and sailing ships, and the blue waters of Winyah Bay and the Atlantic beyond have remained unchanged for centuries, softening the boundaries between yesterday and today. You can even dock your boat at the nearby marina for a small fee.
