We’re so grateful for your flexibility with our church schedule! Since there’s a bit of time between the ceremony and reception, we’ve put together a few ideas to help you enjoy the afternoon. Below are a few of our favorite spots and activities to make the most of your time before we all gather to celebrate.
Beach it!
Note: Folly Beach has a strict no alcohol rule policy on the beach. That said...cups are your friend! No glass or styrofoam.
Bert’s Market
202 E. Ashley Ave, Folly Beach
Swing by Bert’s for groceries, beer, wine, deli, and more—they’re open 24/7 and have pretty much everything you need. Liquor can be bought next door at Folly Liquors.
Chico Feo
122 E. Ashley Ave, Folly Beach
Our favorite beach bar! Make sure to order the Samari Sling or pork tacos. It's very casual, and there are no TVs if you plan to watch the Masters.
Play Pickle Ball
Download the CourtReserve app on your phone, select Folly Beach Recreation, and book your pickleball court.
Lost Dog Cafe
Best breakfast spot on the island—definitely worth the wait (which moves quickly!). Kickstart your day with their bloody mary or mimosa.
Bowens Island Restaurant
1870 Bowens Island Rd, Charleston, SC 29412
Bowen’s Island is the spot for fresh, local seafood—and it’s our personal favorite!
Lowlife Bar
106 E. Hudson Ave, Folly Beach
Great spot for a post ceremony brunch or cocktail! If you decide to eat here, the burgers, waffle fries and brussels are a go-to. Plus a loaded Hamm’s.
Taco Boy
113 E. Ashley Ave, Folly Beach
Great spot for lunch, dinner, or drinks with a view on the top floor. We suggest making a reservation on Resy if you are going for dinner with a larger group!
Center Street Coffee
103 E. Cooper Ave, Folly Beach
Swing by for your morning coffee and a quick breakfast bite!
Where to Lunch After Ceremony:
Bowens Island
Lowlife Bar
Ritas Seaside Grill
Lost Dog Cafe
Taco Boy
Keep in mind! Downtown Charleston is just 20 minutes from Folly Beach, offering plenty of great spots. If you plan to head that way, we recommend making reservations in advance.
Where to Watch the Masters:
Loggerhead’s Beach Bar
Coconut Joes
Revelery Brewing
Taco Boy Bar
The Washout
Slice of Folly
Local favorite! Go-to spot. Bonus - they are open late night!
Folly Beach Chair Company
For those coming from out of town, Folly Beach Chair Company is a great option. They provide chairs, umbrellas, and full beach setup services! Reserve here.
Crosbys Seafood
Stop by Crosby’s Seafood for Charleston’s freshest catch—whether you want a bite from their food truck or something to take home and cook yourself
