We're in the midst of beach season and as the temperatures continue to rise, the thought of being as close as possible to a body of water sounds delightful. For those braving the traffic to head out to one of Charleston's most popular beaches, the fun doesn't stop on the sand at Folly Beach . After soaking up some rays and taking a dip, you can wander up the pier , along the main strip and even off the beaten path to discover some great places for cooling off with a refreshing beverage.

Just be sure to plan your ride home responsibly. Here are 12 Folly Beach bars to visit. BLU offers a ground-level bar right next to the sand and ocean, making you feel as if you're drinking on the beach.



An Ocean Potion or the frozen machine-swirling Italian ice will do you nice at this outdoor bar at The Tides that makes you feel like you're drinking on the beach. It's the only bar on Folly that gets you right up next to the sand, with views of umbrella rentals, the pier and the ocean in your direct line of sight. There's usually live music on the patio and drinks flowing at the covered bar.

Signature cocktails and frozen cocktails alike will ring up at $12, and you can pair with calamari fries, chicken sandwiches, a salmon salad or tacos a la plancha.
