With Thanksgiving just around the corner, there’s no better time to travel to the beach and spend the holiday with your toes in the sand. Celebrating Thanksgiving by the beach offers an entirely different experience and plenty of activities. It truly is one of the best times to be at the beach!
The cooler November weather makes it great for exploring without the summer heat, and the smaller crowds mean you can enjoy the beach, shops, and local restaurants without the long waits. With cooler temperatures, you can enjoy walking along the Folly Pier, strolling on the beach, biking, and taking in the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, all without the crowds. You can also paddleboard through the marshes and explore local shops and cafes. Try out Carmellaโs, Center Street Coffee, or Dolce Banana Cafe, and shop at Folly Trading Co., Mr. Johnโs Beach Store, and more!
Additionally, Waterโs Edge Inn is just a short drive from Downtown Charleston, allowing you to participate in the cityโs Thanksgiving events if you’d like. You can go to Charleston Music Hall for their Holiday Spectacular, join the 47th Annual Turkey Day Run in Charleston, see the Holiday Festival of Lights, opening November 15th, or catch a horse-drawn carriage tour of Downtown Charleston.
Don’t worry about finding places to eat; Folly Beach and Downtown Charleston offer several incredible dining experiences. For a perfect Thanksgiving meal, consider these options: 82 Queen, Sorelle, Iron Rose in Downtown, or stay at the beach and try one of these: The Longboard, Locklearโs, or Alredoโs. Oh, but make sure to call ahead as reservations may be required or hours could be different.
Folly Beach is the ideal destination for your Thanksgiving plans. Book your stay at Waterโs Edge Inn today to begin planning your holiday. Donโt miss out on creating wonderful holiday memories with loved ones this season!
