Food and Drink Folly
Folly Beach is known for its great food and fun nightlife. Our properties are walking distance to all of the following eateries and bars -- and this is not an exhaustive list.
Pier 101
101 E. Arctic Ave.
Located on the beachfront end of historic Folly Beach Fishing Pier, enjoy Southern and surf-inspired casual dining with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. From apps starring deep-fried deviled eggs and she-crab soup to tried-and-true fried seafood baskets and jerk-seasoned chicken to a full-on low country boil (aka "frogmore stew"), the menu is varied for any craving and the beer is served good and cold.
Folly Beach Crab Shack
26 Center St.
A laid-back spot that boasts the largest raw/steam bar around, you can dine in or out and feast on everything from she crab soup and shrimp-studded salads to crab-stuffed flounder. For carnivores, there's their beloved St. Louis-style BBQ ribs.
Blu (waterfront)
Located right on the beach, BLU is the ideal setting for a romantic dinner for
two or a night out with friends to sit back, watch the waves
roll in and enjoy the cool ocean breeze. Specializing in coastal cuisine, the menu boasts lobster mac and cheese, spiny lobsters and other local seafood, plus an impeccably fresh catch-of-the-day. This is the kind of place to splurge on the surf and turf and follow up that tropical cocktail with a good bottle of wine.
Woody's Pizza
39 Center St.
A Folly Beach standard, Woody's serves up wood-fired pizza in a fun, beach-rustic atmosphere. Offers pizza by the slice or whole pies to go. Who needs cake by the ocean when you've got pizza?
Rita's
2 Center Street
Steps from the beach and the Folly Pier on 2 Center St., Rita’s Seaside
Grille is a Hall family-owned restaurant where guests can expect the
same level of gracious hospitality they would see in Halls Chophouse, an
acclaimed fine dining establishment in downtown Charleston.
Wiki Wiki's Sandbar
15 Center Street

drinks, and live music, Wiki Wiki Sandbar’s menu focuses on local
seafood, fresh island flavors, and top-notch cooking techniques
presented in a festive, creative atmosphere.
Chico Feo
122 E. Ashley
A beach dive but in the best way, Chico Feo is an outdoor only eatery featuring the foods inspired by the fare of the West Indies and Caribbean, although the menu wanders as far as southeast Asia.

As you'd expect by the name, the Surf Bar is a laid-back dive hangout
teaming with surf-inspired beach décor. It's menu is pretty standard
beach casual, with the likes of burgers, wings, fish tacos but the bar
