Beat the Heat With An Ice Cream & A Walk Along The Shem Creek Boardwalk

Wholly Cow Ice Cream has been a Charleston institution for over 30 years. Each homemade recipe is made with the freshest, all-natural ingredients and without rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) or other additives or preservatives. And the yummy pieces, savored most, are hand-stirred to create that magical experience. Enjoy an ice cream cone or a cup while you stroll the Shem Creek Boardwalk in Mt. Pleasant. There’s no better way to beat the C-Town heat.
