The hottest show on Netflix just released its third season of Outer Banks, and we are so excited to show you the ins and outs of Poguelandia!
Season 3 of Outer Banks features the struggle of John B. Rutledge and his group of Pogues as they battle against all odds (including the kooks) to find treasure. Even though the show is named after our North Carolina neighbor, the majority of episodes are filmed in our hometown of Charleston, SC. The show was filmed near both of our two retails stores in Mt. Pleasant, SC and Charleston, SC.
The main character, Sarah Cameron even wore our earrings in Season 2 and Season 3. We appropriately named them theSarah Swoop Earringsafter her. They are available ingold filledandsterling silver.

Pitt Street Bridgeis an old trolley bridge that once connected Mt. Pleasant to Sullivan's Island in 1898 to 1945. It is now preserved as a park andis a great place to take a walk, fish, or watch the sunset with friends. In season 3, you can watch JJ Maybank ride his motorcycle down Pitt Street Bridge (before the JJ and Kiara romance begins to unfold...ok..we won’t spoil anything!)

This house may look like a cover photo for HGTV, but don’t be fooled, this is the home of Kiara Carrera on Outer Banks. Many of the Carrera family arguments take place in this Charleston Style home that sits on the Charleston harbor. This home is located nearAlhambra Hallin the Old Village neighborhood. Make sure to take a bike ride down this street to see southern architecture at its best.

Kiara’s parents own a restaurant on Shem Creek called “The Wreck.” In Season 3, that is where they celebrate the Anniversary of the restaurant. This real life Shrimp Shack is calledThe Wreck of the Richard and Charlene, a local's dinner spot for Lowcountry styled seafood and comfort food.

Pope’s parents own “Heyward’s Seafood” which is actuallyAbundant Seafoodlocated at the Geechie Dock on Shem Creek. Charleston locals buy their fresh seafood and shrimp at this spot along the water. A great place to stop and snap a photo, and you just might see a dolphin swimming up and down the creek.

Shem Creek Parkis a boardwalk that takes you over the marsh and out to the docks of Shem Creek. It is a beautiful spot to view coastal birds, fish, and watch the sunset. It connects to the shrimp boat docks and local restaurants. This is where Sarah Cameron rides her bike in Season 3 and first runs into Topper.

Are you team Topper or team John B.? If you said team Topper- then we have just the spot for you. On season three, Topper tries to romance Sarah Cameron by taking her to a beach party and secret lighthouse spot. The actual lighthouse can be viewed off of Folly Beach and is theMorris Island Lighthouse. Pack some sunscreen and a speaker to go and check out this spot from the beach!

In episode 5 of Outer Banks, John B and his dad go to theCharleston Museumto maneuver their way to recover an ancient relic which is a clue to the puzzle of finding the gold. Fun fact: The Charleston Museum was founded in 1773 and is actually America's first museum.
