About Fore & Aft

Fore & Aft sits on the Bluffton waterfront with views of the May River — the kind of setting that makes a meal feel like a proper vacation moment. The menu focuses on fresh seafood with a casual coastal sensibility, from shrimp and fish tacos to heartier dinner plates.

The marina atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, with indoor and outdoor seating that takes full advantage of the waterfront location. Sunset dinners here are particularly memorable.

It's a natural fit for vacation renters who want to combine a great meal with the Lowcountry's signature water views. The bar is well-stocked and the cocktails lean coastal.
