From Oahu, Hawaii, I'm gonna take a journey all the way to east coast U.S.A., to Folly Beach, South Carolina.
Folly Beach is known as "the edge of the world." It is a very popular destination, be it spring, summer, fall, or winter. Its short drive to Charleston and historic past makes it a tourist paradise. Visitors can enjoy days at the beach, a water park, and still engulf themselves in Charleston rich heritage and good cookin'.
The next many blogs will focus on Folly Beach, Charleston, and then travel on down to beautiful Savannah, GA. For anyone who loves the beach and American history (especially early American history), these places are some of the best to visit or even live.
Where to Stay At Folly Beach
Being as how I am a bit selfish, I will not give out my secret destination of choice. However, I will say that one of the best places to stay is not on the beach or in a beach house, but just across the bridge along the marsh land of the Folly River. There are numerous villa's to rent, along with a few homes. Of course, there are plenty of beach homes to choose from. All offer easy access to the beach and the wonderful town (full of daytime and night time fun) of Folly. Even so, if looking for a hotel, the only hotel on the beach is Tides Folly Beach. There is another Inn, called Water's Edge.
The Tides offers all the amenities of a beach front hotel, including a pool and delicious award winning restaurant, BLU. For anyone not really into renting a beach house and wanting to have extremely easy beach access while enjoying other amenities, this is the place to stay. Not to mention, anyone who has an ocean view will be blessed with one of the most amazing sunrises ever!
For those staying across the bridge in one of the many homes or villas, be sure to witness a gorgeous sunset over the marsh. The skyline is breath taking and the colors are absolutely astonishing.
Folly Beach is a must visit destination for any Charleston traveller looking to take a beach break.
