What was being offered at the time was not going to work for the type of event or my schedule. The staff was friendly and polite and the events were of decent variety for water activities from individual to group. If I had several days to spend, this would have been a stronger possibility. Plan early and make reservations if you want to fish or cruise out around Charleston.

Great night out at a great hosting sight. We went to an annual oyster Roast at this facvility and…read moreit was perfect. The view was fantastic. Ample parking. Plenty of room for our group and loved the restroom facilities being so clean and accessible. The caterer was able to set up without getting in the way for a fabulous lowcountry boil along with oysters and still room for a very nice full service bar. I will consider this place in the future if it turns out I need an event space. Highly recommend.

It is usely not very crowded, and there's no charge to fish off the pier. It is a little walk to get to the pier from the parking area but well worth the walk. I would recommend Higgins Pier.

We entered the park from Bull St on to Halsey via bicycle. I was instantly drawn to signs in the…read morepark, which I almost always stop to read. The first one told me about the importance of marshland, but was hard to read because it was very faded. The second, more solid and legible sign / plaque, gave us a history of how the park got it's name and who she was. The views from this end of the park are nice and you can see the new construction of the Children's Center and the Marina along Lockwood Blvd. Pelicans could be see diving in to the water for breakfast, so we stopped to watch that for a minute. Benches are available for sitting if you are so inclined. Overall, a nice quaint park for sitting and meditating.

This has become one of my favorite spots in downtown Charleston. It's a beautiful slice of nature…read morewhere one can find solitude in the hustle and bustle of the city. Directly across from the harbor, it mainly consists of an overflow pond, a fishing dock and a couple of benches under the shade of oak trees. You can relax and take in the peacefulness around you, watch the locals fish, or catch a few yourself. You have to park in the private parking lot of the condos just off of Lockwood, but I have never had a problem with this. There is not a lot of room for kids to run around but it is a cool spot to share with bigger kids who are interested in fishing. Overall though it is a great place, especially if you just need to take a minute or two for yourself.

I'm neither a boater nor a fisher, so I can't comment on either of the main aspects of this site…read more But I did see people both boating and fishing while I enjoyed use of the covered picnic tables during a recent lunch break. It is a relatively quiet location, alongside the Ashley River, where it is crossed by the Mark Clark section of I-526. It is in the vicinity of the Charleston County Detention Center, as well as several nice business parks, and a number of boat-related businesses. Despite the proximity to the local pokey, the location seemed clean and safe. BE ADVISED: There are intentionally no garbage or recycling bins on site. There is a strict "pack your trash" policy in place. I think the idea is that it would be too easy for things to get out of hand, and then any trash overflow would immediately end up in the river, which is no bueno.

As far as boat landings go, this one has everything you'd need. Easy access to the water, with…read moreample space to turn around and back in. Those who choose to drive in head first need to find a different boat landing, because this one will not support that kind of shenanigan. Plenty of parking with tall trees to shade various parts of the landing, as well as picnic tables to enjoy a snack before or after your trip out on the water. This is also a decent place to bring your bag lunch on your break to enjoy some silence, while taking in the scenic waterway and watching people put their boats in the water.

Interesting and easy spot. Interesting because you can not…read moreget in the water. The fast currents are very dangerous; I put my feet in... Don't bust me! I'm just a rebel like that... Some put their toe over the line. I was in ankle deep! Women wanted me, men wanted to be me. The easy part was the short walk to see the view or setup a chair. You can watch as the fisherman cast lines or watch the sunset. The parking lot has only 10 spots, but it wasn't an issue for us. Seems like cars wouldn't stay to long. I would recommend stopping by for a short bit, but due to the water restrictions and therefore ocean **cough cough** restroom restrictions I wouldn't stay long.

What a beautiful (dangerous) place to hang out. Breach Inlet separates the island of Sullivan's…read moreIsland and Isle of Palm passable by bridge. Each side of the Inlet has it's own personality. On the Sullivan's Island side there is a parking lot with a few historical markers telling visitors the story that Breach Inlet played in the American Revolution; in 1776 that the British could not ford the inlet and take Sullivan's Island on foot, many drowning trying to cross the inlet from what is now IOP to Sullivan's Island. On the IOP side there is a footpath through the brush to get to the inlet and from there you can head left to get the beach at Isle of Palm. Both sides have small parking lots and small beaches that you can fish off of. Swimming the Inlet is illegal, because it is so dangerous and I've witness currents take skiers flying off; only to be saved by life jackets they were wearing. Many people have drowned in this water. But it is a great place to come fish, wade (not swim) in the water, or just hang out on a nice day.

There is a restaurant right when you walk up that has outdoor seating, live music and a separate bar area. There are public bathrooms but they were pretty dirty when I went. We have not tried the restaurant yet, but the food smells good we will try it next time. The bar looks awesome but it closed early at 8pm on a Saturday so I was not able to try it. The views are beautiful and the pier is huge. Lots of seating and benches, you can also fish on the pier but you need a license. Definitely visit the pier if you are in Folly! We will be back.

The food has always been magnificent. Today was no exception, starting with she crab soup in a large cup and a side of sherry. Thickly made with lots of crab blended it. My decision for the main lunch time meal was for CYC Club, with thick well cooked Applewood bacon, smoked turkey in thin slices, lettuce and tomato on wheat bread with an excellent sauce with the consistency of mayonnaise but so much better and a lot more flavorful. The copious amounts of thinner, exactly fried french fries was excellent but could not be finished, as the sandwich filled me up! Find a member and come eat here!

He was very knowledgeable about the marine life and pointed out all kinds of things that were interesting. Glad we did 8 am before it got too hot. It was easy to paddle at low tide and a tiny bit more challenging as the water raised throughout the morning. The office answered phones when I called and did billing and waivers in advance so it was pretty seamless.
