GET SALTY, SWEATY & SANDY AT THE BEACH!

Kicking it on the Beach with a group of friends is one of the best ways to spend the day in Charleston, and not to mention it’s the best hangover care! The Top 3 Charleston SC beaches for a bachelorette weekend getaway are Folly Beach, Sullivans Island, or Isle of Palms.  Each beach has it’s own unique vibe, so you can find the perfect hot spot for your bride squad to post up. My personal favorite and top choice is Folly Beach so I’ll elaborate.

Folly Beach SC

Folly Beach SC is a great beach for Charleston SC bachelorette and bachelor parties who want to max and relax, have some fun in the sun, party, or surf. There are plenty of Folly Beach restaurants and bars all centrally located on Center Street which is also near the popular oceanfront hotel called Tides Folly Beach.

  • Tides Folly Beach
  • Post up on the beach behind Tides Folly Beach- where you can grab some dranks' at Blu which is the only beachside bar on Folly. There’s almost always live music or DJ’s all day on the weekends and on holidays.
  • Kayaking Charleston SC
  • Go on a kayaking or Paddle-boarding excursion with SUP Safari’s to tone up that beach bod, or burn off that epic brunch!
  • Folly Beach Surfing
  • Check out the Folly Beach Cam to see if there is any good surf, if so give it a go! OR just post up at “The Washout”- one of the best known Folly Beach Surfing spots- to watch all the hottie surfer brahs rip it, while you sit back and enjoy the eye candy. 
  • Folly Beach Bike Rentals
  • Cruise the whole town and cover some ground- hit up Folly Beach Bike Rentals or even snag a golf cart and check out the Morris Island Lighthouse and the Folly Beach County Park.
  • Go Paddleboarding w/SUP Safaris- highly recommended!
  • Charter a Boat
  • Go For a Booze Cruise
  • Fishing Charters
  • Sailing Excursions
  • Sunset Cruises + Dolphin Sighting

Sullivans Island SC

Sullivan’s is more of a laid back, older crowd, and a lot of locals. There are hardly ever any waves, but the beach/shore is much longer and it’s a great place to kiteboard and windsurf.

  • Catch Some Air!
  • Go Kiteboarding at Windsurfing at Sullivans Island Public Beach, or just go post up at 28 ½ block to watch other people do it- it can be very captivating!
  • Visit Fort Moultrie.
  • Take some sweet pics at Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse.

Isle of Palms Charleston SC

Isle of Palms SC (AKA IOP) is definitely a family-oriented beach, with lots of kids, and really strict police. It's also the farthest distance from downtown historic Charleston- about a 20-30 drive (without traffic.) However, the Windjammer can be fun, and the Wild Dunes Resort has a great spa and golf course.

  • Day Drink @ The Windjammer
  • Day drink, play volleyball, see some live music, or go to a bikini contest at The Windjammer Isle of Palms, they have great daytime beach parties on weekends in the summertime.
  • Treat Yo'self w/a spaliday
  • Treat Yo’self at Wild Dunes Resort Isle of Palms SC.

TOUR AND EXPLORE DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON


Even if you decide to stay at one of the beaches for your Charleston SC bachelorette party, at some point you need to check out downtown Charleston! Everything in the historic district is within walking distance, so depending on your #squadgoals - your bride tribe can pick a few interesting spots and roll, stroll, post, toast, do some sightseeing or just stick to day drinking...

Roll or Stroll To Charleston’s Top Attractions

Millions of tourists flock to Charleston every year to admire its old architecture and learn about it’s history. Not you guys, you’re here to party… and maybe pass some cool looking buildings as you walk from bar to bar. However, If you want to have the full Charleston experience, I do recommend a leisurely stroll- or better yet a breezy “roll” to some of Charleston top attractions. 

  • Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
  • King Street, the Market
  • Waterfront or Riverfront Park Charleston SC
  • Rainbow Row
  • The Charleston Battery Park
  • Charleston Aquarium 
  • Go on a Scavenger Hunt

Charleston SC Walking Tours

You’re coming to town for a bachelorette party, so obviously you should look into the more PG-13 rated walking tours… The tours listed below will take you down intriguing routes, and you’ll learn about the darker side of Charleston’s scandalous past.

Bike Rentals Charleston SC

In my opinion, biking is the best way to get around downtown Charleston in the day time, you can cover so much more ground on a bike! Also, it’s hawt’’ as hell in the summer time, (not in a good way) so that’s why I prefer biking to walking- you can beat the sweltering heat, or at least minimize the amount of time you subject yourself to it… So take yourselves on a bicycle tour of downtown Charleston, or cruise around at the beach. Stay tuned for recommended bike routes that I will publish soon!

This is one of my top choices for things to do for a Charleston, SC bachelorette party! It’s a great way to spend the day. Hydrofly Watersports is located on the Ashley River/Brittlebank Park- which is right downtown, so it’s super easy to get to if you’re staying there. There’s a little floating Tiki Hut with lots of floats and water toys so you and your friends can kick it while you take turns getting your lesson and flying around. It’s a blast!
