Wink Folly Beach, SC... any thoughts?

So my hubby and I are going to take a vacation... finally. We are thinking the beach... Hilton Head was the original destination... but I want an oceanfront room... so Hilton Head is out... even the Holiday Inn is $200 a night.

So I found this beach called Folly Beach... anyone from the area know anything about this location? Is it good? I found a hotel... Holiday Inn that is all oceanfront views for less than 150 a night.

I've never been to this beach so if anyone has any advise on this beach or the area... please let me know. You are welcome to PM me!
Thanks!

Smile I can help!

Folly Beach (AKA The Edge of America) is about 20 miles outside of Charleston. There's not much to do there (besides going on the beach) but there are several little resturants in Folly Beach. As in terms of hotels, the most popular one is the Holiday Inn. Most people who visit there go to visit Charleston and the sites (The Battery, Waterfront Park, Aquarium, The Market, historic homes, etc).

PM me if you need more info.

It's a shame that fartty.net isn't up and running at the moment. The kids on that board could go on for hours about anything remotely related to Charleston.

Hey thanks for the help,

Since we are old married people, we just want a relaxing vacation that will still let me get new furniture this year... so the Holiday Inn sounds like the prefect place.

We are going the last week of this month... wanting to get to the beach before the winter but after the summer crowds.

I'm looking for specific places to go... so if anyone has anything that is don't miss let me know. Also any places between Lexington and Charleston that are worth the stop also. I think that we are going to spend a night in Gatlingburg so any off the beaten track places for shopping or sight seeing would be helpful.

Thanks yall!
Arin

She's right, Florida gulf coast beaches are better. That being said, SC is nice because you don't have to hang out with Floridians. Its a toss up.
