This beach is a quick drive from the suite, we recommend parking by 11th street for a quieter beach day if you don't mind being far from bathrooms and food. Otherwise, the main strip when you first drive into Folly is great for all day fun. Tons of restaurants here!

Queen Street is a local favorite with sandwiches, bagels, and smoothies. The area is also great to walk around while you wait for your food. Short walk to Colonial Lake so we recommend picking up your breakfast to go and eating it by the lake!

Police presence on King Street

On weekend nights, the Charleston County Police close one side of King Street to limit through traffic while locals and tourists are enjoying late night bars and restaurants on King Street! You will see heavy police presence at night on King Street because of this but they are just there for safety and to limit traffic for pedestrians! Have fun and be safe!
