Visit Folly Beach, SC - Off Season!

Most people flock to Folly when it’s warm and sultry. Understandably, the beach is the big draw, and it’s fun to frolic in the ocean and lounge like a lizard on the sand. But, it can be really hot. And sticky. And crowded.

Locals and those in the know have a favorite season - the off-season. For one, it’s quieter. No lines of traffic to get on to the island. No need to wait forever for a table at your favorite restaurant. You can still visit the beach - maybe not to swim - but November through February is mild in South Carolina, and it’s fairly normal for temperatures to be in the 50s and 60s.

Quiet Folly Beach in the Off Season

Add the sun that sparkles on the ocean and miles of open beach, and … well, it’s pretty perfect.

We have open dates at our Water’s Edge town home for the rest of January and most of February. Our rates until March 1 are the lowest of the year, and winter season is a great time to experience Folly.

What to do?

Head to the beach! Stroll - Take a morning or afternoon run. Fly a kite. You’ll see plenty of locals with their dogs. And isn’t it true that any time of year it’s soothing to hear waves break on the shore and smell the salt air?

Look for shark teeth - The best time find them is early in the morning, after high tide, or after a storm.

Take a bike ride -  Head to the east end of the island (about 5 miles from our home). Once you’re there, you will have a great view of the Morris Island Lighthouse and can explore the driftwood-strewn beach.

Try a new restaurant -  Several have opened, including Wiki Wiki Sandbar - a mid century modern restaurant with five unique artist-inspired rooms that combines Hawaiian food with Southern eats.

See Charleston - If you’re here on a weekend, head into Charleston where you can take a tour, head to a show, shop along King Street, or just explore the unique and historic neighborhoods of this beautiful city.

Experience local festivals - There’s always a festival or event. For example, Sunday January 27 is the Lowcountry Oyster Festival, rated one of the top 20 events in the Southeast. Highlights include the oyster shucking and oyster eating contests, live music, a food court with top-rated Charleston restaurants, a children’s area - all in the lawn and gardens of Boone Hall Plantation, a historic antebellum home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek.

Like jazz? -  The 5th annual Charleston Jazz Festival from Jan. 24-27 will bring talented jazz artists to a number of venues to perform everything from swing to salsa, blues to Brazilian.

Wildlife enthusiast? - Those who love wildlife will want to be here from Feb 15-17 for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. This is a huge event in Charleston and brings together anyone who loves nature. Fine art, conservation education, demonstrations (sheep and duck herding among them), Jeff Corwin, fashion, petting zoo, food… Tickets are $50 for all three days or $25 per day; Sunday is $15.

TASTE OF FOLLY: JAN 18-19, 2019

Folly loves a good festival, and starting on Friday, Jan 18, the island on the "Edge of America" will host the Taste of Folly. Over the past several years, many new restaurants have opened on the island, and each one will be showcasing its unique cuisine.

If you’ve never been to a festival here, well.. it’s a lot of fun. Center Street, which runs through town, closes off so locals and visitors can stroll and sample the dishes offered at the food booths. You’ll see families with kids, college students, hippies, surfers, older couples, and lots of interesting local personalities. Think Mayberry with a funky twist.

The event kicks off at 7 pm Friday at Tides Folly Beach with the Cannon Distillery Cocktail Competition where Folly restaurants will be showcasing their cocktails. It’s $20 in advance; $25 at the door, which includes a free 5 ounce sample of all cocktails. Vote for your favorite.

On Saturday, January 19 from 10-4, head to Center Street, ($5 in advance or pay at the door). Sample the great food, watch cooking demonstrations, listen to live music (they’ll be three stages). In addition, there’s a chili cook off, an oyster shucking contest, and a hot dog eating contest. Kids will enjoy free inflatables, culinary-inspired arts and crafts, and pasta making. Oh, and there’s a “Server Olympics” - watch Folly waiters perform their duties while maneuvering through obstacle courses.

Celebrate the Magic of December in Charleston!

Whether it’s a Christmas performance, holiday market, or beautiful lights, Charleston offers many ways for the whole family to celebrate the 2018 season. Here’s just a sample...

The Holiday Festival of Lights at the James Island County Park

The James Island County Park Festival of Lights is a memory-making event for the whole family. Drive three miles through the park and be treated to more than 2 million sparkling and colorful lights in 750 displays ranging from Santa’s toyland to candy canes and gingerbread men. After the ooh and aah car ride, be sure to park and explore the Winter Wonderland. Kids can visit Santa, take a ride on the carousel, stop for hot chocolate, or roast marshmallows at one of the roasting stations. Adults will enjoy the gift shop that offers handmade gifts and Santa’s Sweet Shoppe for hand-dipped chocolate and fresh-baked goods. Oh, and don’t forget the walk along an enchanted trail where fairies buzz through the light-drenched trees; a holiday-themed sandcastle crafted from more than 50 pounds of sand; and a festival train to view the lights close up. Various musical performances will keep festival-goers in a merry mood. It’s $20 per car 5:30-10:00 Thursday through Sunday and $15 per car 5:30-11:00 Monday-Thursday with donation of canned food item or dog/cat food. Through Dec 31. www.holidayfestivaloflights.com

Holiday Market at the Charleston Farmers Market

Grab a cup of coffee or hot apple cider as you stroll through the food and gift booths in Marion Square for one-of-a-kind holiday market. Soak in the splendor of the 64-foot Holiday tree and enjoy children’s and church choirs, storytellers, and other performers. The park is kid and pet friendly and beautifully decorated - where else do you see tall palms with so many lights? Saturdays and Sundays, 9 am to 3 pm through Dec 17. www.charlestonfarmersmarket.com

The Sound of Charleston ... From Gospel to Gershwin - Holiday Specials

The beautiful Circular Congregational Church in downtown Charleston hosts 75 minutes of live music, including holiday tunes, that helped define Charleston’s rich heritage. As you listen to performances that range from Civil War ballads to gospel spirituals to Gershwin - you can’t help but appreciate the magnificence and history of the setting - the church, founded in 1681, is one of the oldest continuously worshipping congregations in the South. Dec 7, 14, 21, 26, 30. www.soundsofcharleston.com
