ABOUT T H E N E I G H B OR H OOD A quick look at the local area & attractions
ABOU T T H E N E I G H B OR H OOD
Folly Beach With its small town feel, Folly Beach, nicknamed “the Edge of America,” is a go to destination for homeowners, visitors, and surfers alike who enjoy a vacation at the beach loaded with sunshine and southern charm.
from historic downtown Charleston, Folly Beach is nearly 19 square miles of beach bungalows, restaurants, shops and, of course, sandy beaches. JUST ABOUT 15 MINUTES
As you drive onto the island, crossing over the Folly River, you just might catch a glimpse of dolphins frolicking along the marsh. And who can resist the down-home environment (and great shrimp and shovelfuls of oysters) of the nearly world-famous Bowen's Island Restaurant or grabbing a hotdog and a Coke at Bert’s Market, where you’re sure to hear the locals talk about “the one that got away.” From the classic surf shops that line Center Street to sunsets from rooftop eateries, Folly Beach offers sandy, fun-
filled days all year long and you’re almost always guaranteed to see a surfer catching a wave at The Washout. If on your bucket list it reads “Learn How To Surf ” then this is the place to do it. Folly Beach is not without its history, either. In 1982, the Morris Island Lighthouse, located adjacent to Folly Beach’s northernmost tip, was named to the National Register of Historic Places and today, locals work hard to protect it for the enjoyment of generations to come. Have we sold you yet? We feel pretty confident that you'll discover the laid-back, lowcountry lifestyle on Folly Beach is hard to beat. 16

WELCOME TO C H A R L ESTON THERE'S A RE ASON WHY CHARLESTON has been named the number one destination city in the United
States and Canada six years running. This historic city is full of charm and entertainment – and perfect for those who love a little of both. Whether you intend to park your car and walk to all of the attractions, restaurants and nightlife that Charleston has to offer, or explore the centuries old plantations on the outskirts of town, you will never be at a loss for things to do. It's a city for every season. Springtime finds this city hopping with world renowned festivals – SEWE, Food & Wine, The Cooper River Bridge Run and Spoleto. Summer is bursting with fun and sun-filled days on the beach, catching fireflies, fireworks on the 4th of July and locally grown produce found at the Farmer's Market. When autumn arrives, step back in time and enjoy the Preservation Society’s Fall Tour of Homes and explore grand homes and gardens or antique along King Street until your heart’s content. Winter brings holiday magic to Charleston and the excitement that comes with ringing in a new year. OUR CONCIERGE TEAM HAS CREATED A "TOP 5 GUIDE" INCLUDING SOME OF OUR FAVORITE DESTINATIONS, RESTAURANTS & ACTIVITIES HERE IN THE HOLY CITY.
