Folly Beach is about 9 miles south of Charleston and it’s a great place to escape to for the afternoon or a weekend.  It’s actually a 6-mile-long island that retirees and families flock to for it’s deep, scenic, and   shell-filled beaches.  The surf is pretty decent, and on the afternoon we visited in October, there were plenty of surfers catching waves as well as families enjoying the warm, fall day.  Of note, is the 1000 foot long pier which juts out into the ocean.

Center Street is the main spot for restaurants and tourist shops.  We spent the day as guests of ‘The Tides’, a sister hotel of ‘The Vendue’ in downtown Charleston (note: if you stay at ‘The Vendue’, you can use the facilities – beach access and pool – of ‘The Tides’ for free for the day).
