Don't Forget the Beaches!

The party starts long before sunset. Charleston is minutes away from world-class beaches that are destinations in their own right.

Head to Folly Beach for a laid-back, bohemian surf vibe with lively beachfront bars, or visit Isle of Palms for a slightly more upscale scene with great restaurants and wide, sandy shores. They're the perfect places to day-drink, catch some sun, and get the party started early.
