Thanks for the reply.  We are actually staying acrossed the street for the weekend from Folly so I think we will spend a day out there since we can walk back to our condo.    My wife and I didn't get a honeymoon and this is our 1st trip since we got married so we made a reservation at Halls Chop house. We have a day and a half maybe 2 in Charleston to ourselves then the whole family will be in town.   Is there any cool bars or restaurant near Folly we should check out?

I was actually just in Charleston this weekend, at a wedding at the Country Club of Charleston.  And wow, that is an incredible facility.  We went out to Folly before the wedding.  Just one thing to note, if you leave Folly during the day, and the weather is nice, just be aware that it will take you around 40 minutes worth of traffic to get back on during the middle of the day.  Otherwise, you can just stay at Folly and enjoy yourself.

 

As far as places on Folly that are cool, I really like the Lost Dog Café, Rita's, and Taco Boy.

 

I also recommend having a few drinks at Loggerhead's.  Beware of drinking on the beach, as it is outlawed, just FYI.  It can be done, but be careful about it.

Well that's interesting. Up here drinking isn't outlawed on any beachs I know of.

I came on here to recommend Stono Ferry as well.  I've played a lot of golf around Charleston, but not Kiawah and not the private courses.  Stono Ferry is my favorite course down that way.

Charleston National is also pretty solid, and can be really tough if the wind is blowing, but sometimes is a bit over-priced.  IMO, Patriot's Point isn't worth it.  Wild Dunes is great, and rounds there are in the $100-range. 

Enjoy your trip, Charleston is a terrific city.  Some posters above have pointed out some great places to check out.  I HIGHLY recommend Poe's Tavern and the Sullivan's Island area in general for grabbing a beer, some good food, and hitting the beach.  Folly is the more popular beach, but it gets packed to the gills.  Then you have the world-class Beachwalker Park on Kiawah that anyone can go to.

 

I agree. Stono Ferry is my favorite as well. They have a phenomenal training facility and it is also the home course for the College of Charleston! Just a fun fact.
