Places to Visit

Sullivan’s Island is my favorite local beach. Go early as traffic gets bad. Parking is free but be sure to park in correct place with all four tires off the road. The beach is beautiful and serene. No showers so bring a jug of water to rinse off. Stop by the Co-Op for food and drinks! Eat at Poe’s or Home Team. Stop and get an ice cream at Blackbeard’s. 🍦☀️🌊

Folly Beach is a fun local beach. Go early as traffic gets bad. Pay to park at the park by the Pier. It’s worth it and they have a nice area to shower off after the beach. Take a left and go down to the Washout if you like to surf. Take a right and go down to the county park if you prefer quiet. Stop at Rita’s or Taco Boy for lunch. Best breakfast/brunch by far is the Lost Dog!
