Canoe Club and Cole’s

Palmetto Bluff members can indulge in delicious cuisine where they will have the opportunity to engage with other club members.

The Canoe Club offers river-to-table dining, where you can experience some of the best food that the Lowcountry has to offer, like shrimp, oysters, and other seafood options. The Canoe Club partners with local farms as well to also be farm-to-table with fresh vegetables and meat options.
