Hot,, muggy days on Tybee Island were made for this combo.

Start with our famous Captain’s Sampler Platter on Chimney Creek and finish with the coolest sweet treat around from Leopold’s Ice Cream.

Even better? The Coconut Rum flavor was created exclusively for The Original Crab Shack — the ONLY place you can get it! 🥥🍨

It’s the perfect offset to all the savory seafood goodness and the sweetest way to end your island escape.

Thank you Leopold’s for creating something so special just for us and our guests. ❤️
