Marshside Mama’s, Daufuskie Island, SC The Scene: “Our bar is like Canterbury Tales; there’s a little bit of everything,” says bartender Tyler Gerow of the honky-tonk Marshside Mama’s. Owner Beth Shipman cooks up mouthwatering gumbo, shrimp, and grits, and there’s always the freshest fish because fishermen pull up to the dock to drop off the catch of the day. Even though it’s only a 45-minute ferry ride from Hilton Head, the ferry doesn’t always run, so the crowd is mostly local boaters. They rock out to live bands on weekends and follow the lead of owner Beth, who’s known to yell out, “No whining, just dance.” Signature Drink: Marshside Mama’s Rum Fruity: four different types of rum mixed with fruit juices, $ Here is the Travel and Leisure Link for you. Thank you so much to part time resident Pat from Melrose for making me aware of this article. Also congratulations to Beth. http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-beach-bars/6
