Charleston, SC – Folly Beach & Fort Moultrie

We went to Folly Beach to see if it was better than Tybee Island in Georgia. It definitely was. The sand was nicer and there were more people enjoying the sun. Unfortunately it was windy, but at least it was warm. There were lots of kite surfers and they were fun to watch. I didn’t take the camera, I didn’t want to deal with sand and water, but here are some cell phone pictures.
Once we were done with the beach we drove down the road to Fort Moultrie. You can see this fort from Fort Sumter. The fort was closed for the day, but we could walk the grounds.

From the Fort we walked towards the beach, here is the distance from the beach back to the fort:

We didn’t make it over to the other beach islands, but when we go back we’ll for sure spend some more time at each one.
