RE: Exploring the Beautiful Beaches of South Carolina Through Photography

in #travel8 years ago


Nice to see that you enjoyed Folly Beach, SC.
I live in Charleston and never really visit Folly enough. Mainly because I hate driving down Folly Rd in James Island.
If you're still in town and wanting to explore other local beaches, I highly recommend going to Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. Those are the best in my opinion but, Folly draws in the more "hip" crowd if you know what I mean :)Hey @trevorjenglish

@ajvest, thanks for the tips! I was thinking of going out again tomorrow but wasn't sure where to go. I will take your recommendation and head to Sullivan's Island.


Charleston is a great place, hence it's #1 rating of America's Best Cities
@trevorjenglish My pleasure! http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/best-cities-in-north-america/20

If you make it to Sullivan's Island go with an empty stomach! There are some great "quaint" restaurants. My favorite is Sullivan's Restaurant...

And here's a "secret" location on Sullivan Is. for taking some awesome photos of Charleston's harbor and city skyline...

I think you'll find between Sullivan Island and Isle of Palms there are plenty of photo opportunity's.


here's the location https://goo.gl/maps/w6FQ43GhSF62 https://goo.gl/maps/qLygDaYnVnP2 When/if you go through Mt. Pleasant on Coleman Blvd. stop and check out another cool spot of the Harbor, which is here... https://goo.gl/maps/ddWi2VpMRDk Shem Creek is another great spot... https://goo.gl/maps/Z6kUNoZ8DY92 And here at Mt. Pleasant Memorial Park LOL... https://goo.gl/maps/J2FZfxT59GK2

If you like beer and/or a mixed drink it's worth stopping at Red's Ice House @ Shem Creek and hanging out on the top deck... especially in the evening during the sun set hours.
Almost every time I go to Shem Creek, you'll see the dolphins coming up for air while hangout around the docks, almost like dogs LOL It's so cool!
FYI- Shem Creek has the freshest shrimp in town. Shrimp boats dock and unload there everyday.

Have Fun!!

WOW! Alright, well that was quite the list of recommendations, thank you so much. I am going to try and hit all of those and document them in some form here on Steemit. I'll tag you in the posts when I am done with each just so you get a chance to see my take, if that's alright :)

No problem :)
Just wanted to make sure you didn't miss any good stuff. There's obviously plenty of other places to visit, like the tourist traps but, why partake in the same'ole-same'ole?!
Yes, it would be ok to tag me if you'd like.
