Drive down to the east end of the island as far as the road takes you. From there you can get out walk to the end of the island either by road, past the barricade or by the beach. I like to do a loop. You can see the light house from the end and often there are dolphins close to shore.

On the weekends, the beach can get pretty crowded at this part of the island. If you drive east, the further you go it becomes less crowded. There’s an area just past 13th st. called the “washout” that is where the surfers go. If you continue on, it becomes less populated. If you go all the way to the end, you can park and walk to the end and see the light house, across the inlet on Morris Island. Alternatively, the far west end of the island is a county park. There’s a small fee to park. There are bathrooms and a concession stand.

Just off the island. You’ll need to drive. However, this is where the locals go for fried seafood or oysters.

Downtown Charleston. You’ll need reservations or maybe take a chance at getting a seat at the bar. It’s date night fancy. Not recommended for children

Downtown Charleston. Owned by the same folks as The Ordinary. Reservations usually need to be made well in advance unless you can get a seat at the bar.

Located on James Island, a few miles from the beach, on Folly Rd. I've eaten here recently and it was pretty good! It's probably not worth leaving the island for, but if you are off the island anyway, I recommend it.
