Miss Caroline's is just 3 blocks away from Center Street
on Folly Beach and across the street from the Atlantic Ocean
itself. The path to the beach, has handicapped access.
Public restrooms are also near this entry point. A very
popular surfing school may be available during the summer
season. The new Folly Beach Fishing Pier is a short walk by
beach, or street. There is no fee to visit the pier but you
will have to pay to fish there. A restaurant and gift shop
are at the pier. Center Street, the main hub, is where you
will find great seafood restaurants, ice cream, yogurt, gift
shops, and midweek farmers market / craft displays. There's
something for everyone on Center Street and it is a mere 2
blocks from Miss Caroline's. Kayak, paddle board, golf cart,
bicycle, chairs and umbrellas are available to rent. Golf
cart rentals are best to reserve weeks before your arrival,
during the high season.

At the east end of Folly Beach, you can enjoy the harbor
entrance to the City of Charleston and view the historic
Morris Island Lighthouse. The beautiful natural seashore on
the east and west ends of Folly Island are teaming with
wildlife, shelling, and natural fauna and flora. On the west
end, at Folly Beach County Park, enjoy a beautiful stroll
along the ocean front and where nature continues its display
to the islands tip where you'll see Kiawah Island ahead of
you. Then, round out to the backside of Folly Island and see
the Folly River. Feeling lucky? You just might see some
playful dolphins bobbing up and down! Please don't swim or
wade into the water at either end. There are swift currents
and deep drop-offs.

From Folly Beach, you are moments away from historic
Charleston and the City Market area with shops, dining, and
local crafts. You can take in the Charleston Museum, the
Visitors Center, and the Gibbes Museum of Art, all within
the museum mile. The South Carolina Aquarium is also near
the market and has ocean and estuary marine life displays.

Other Charleston city attractions include The Battery,
White Point Gardens and Charleston's Waterfront Park. Also,
the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is at The College
of Charleston.

On the other side of the harbor at Mount Pleasant, you can
take in Patriots Point, featuring The U.S. S. Yorktown, the
Medal of Honor Museum and the Vietnam Experience. Catch a
ferry ride to Fort Sumter, where the American Civil War
began. See shrimp boats docked or at work along Shem Creek
just down the road from Patriots Point.

In North Charleston you can visit the C.S.S. Hunley
display, the world's first successful combat
submarine.

Our parents bought this house in the 1960's. Miss Caroline
was our mother and she served many delectable seafood
delights from the kitchen of their cottage. We spent
summers, from Memorial Day to Labor Day at Miss Caroline's.
Back then, the beach mostly went dark for the winter season.
Our father, a Citadel graduate '42, remembers delivering
blocks of ice to Miss Caroline's during his summers at The
Citadel. We are a Citadel family with three more graduates;
'71, '80, '96. We would love to share our house with you! We
are local and are here to help in any way we can. This house
accommodates SIX people. We ask that you treat it as your
own.
