"As someone who lives 10 minutes from Folly Beach, I certainly feel like I am on vacation where I live," Katie Hirsch, the director and chief curator of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, tells Travel + Leisure. It’s one of the closest beach towns to Charleston, so it’s a great option for a day trip if you’re visiting the Holy City; just be sure to arrive on the earlier side if you want to beat the crowds and have an easier time parking. Plus, “if you're an early riser,” says Hirsch, you might want to “try finding shark teeth during a morning beach walk.” She also recommends grabbing some food at local favorite Jack of Cups Saloon for “unexpected bites inspired by Asian cuisine.”" - Travel + Leisure Editors
