Arguably better than Isle of Palms... but let's get into that!…read more This beach is not for the surfers. It's definitely for the walkers and I had to do my hot girl walk along the beach today. This beach isn't visually pleasing in my opinion. The walkways to the beach are though. This beach FEELS GOOD. It makes you remember why you show up at work... to get awesome moments like this. It felt like heaven to get into the warm, calm water. I saw dogs playing fetch and even taking it upon themselves to swim! Would love to take my niece dog here some day.

If you enjoy treasure hunts, arrive early about 7AM and you can find horseshoe crabs, sand dollars, and lots of shells. Definitely check out some of the great restaurants like Obstinate Daughter (Fancy) or Home Team (casual) or cool off with some frozen and smoothies at the Coop.

Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies and wear a collar with a metal tag showing the vet's information. Owners are also required to carry a valid rabies certificate at all times. While not mandatory, residents are encouraged to get a free dog permit from the Isle of Palms Police Department, which can help in reuniting lost pets. Off-leash hours vary by season: April 1 - September 14: Dogs may be off-leash from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. September 15 - March 31: Off-leash hours are 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outside of these hours, dogs must be on a leash and under full control-even in the water. Owners must also have a leash in hand, maintain voice control if off-leash, and clean up after their pets.

It is a favorite among Charleston locals and tourists alike. This park is ideal for a sunset picnic or a relaxing stroll, and it only adds to the romantic charm of Charleston. It won the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects, confirming its status as a Charleston treasure. You can stroll through the gardens, walk the esplanade, or spend some time at one of the many fountains. Spanning over 8 acres and located less than a mile north of The Battery, Waterfront Park has become a beloved Charleston fixture. It is home to one of the city's most photographed sites: the pineapple fountain. In Charleston's scorching summer months (and we faced that too), visitors (especially children) can be found cooling off in the shallow water of the fountain. Wide walking paths, dozens of benches, well-manicured green spaces, picturesque Palmetto trees, and a famous Pineapple Fountain adorn the park.

There is also a state beach park on the south end of Folly thata really nice with showers, rest rooms, gift shop and etc. last best thing about Folly is they allow wind shades such as Shibumi.

As the Maid of Honor, I was in charge of plans for the weekend and I wanted to start the trip with my own version of a bike tour around Folly. I called 2 days prior to our arrival because I didn't initially think we needed a formal reservation, but started to get nervous as we got closer to the trip. When I called, the guys told me it would be no problem and they would have 10 bikes ready for us at 11:00am that Friday. I wasn't sure what would happen when we arrived, so I held my breath and crossed my fingers all would work out. I was ecstatic when we arrived to see Will and Cameron already at the door waiting on us!! We were maybe 5 minutes or so after 11:00 (10 girls can be a lot to get out the door) but they both commented on us "being on time," so I felt much better. They got us setup and on our way very quickly. I even asked for some of their "expert opinions" on restaurant/bars we should stop throughout the day and they provided us with great recommendations. I think having the bikes on a Friday was perfect because we didn't run into too much traffic and it felt very safe everywhere we went. We were really sad to return the bikes at the end of the day. I thought we would only spend a few hours on them since Folly isn't that big, but we were having so much fun we stayed on them until the shop was closing. By the end of the weekend, I asked the girls what their favorite part of the trip was and the most common response was the bikes!! If I had to do it over, I would probably pay to rent bikes for the full weekend. It was the best way to get 10 girls around Folly Beach!

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.
