The Washout is the best place in the Charleston area and perhaps all of South Carolina to surf. It…read moreoffers probably the most consistent break in the state, and because of such plays host regularly to several surf competitions including the Wahine Classic and the Governor's Cup. Even if you aren't a surfer, the Washout is a fun place to observe and soak up the atmosphere. Because there is such a draw, parking can be a challenge.

The Washout itself deserves five stars, but I take one away due to the parking situation now. I…read moregrew up going here as a laid back surf spot and now it seems to be a pain, and I usually go elsewhere on the beach now. The machine only takes $1, $5, or $10 in cash and does not return any change. The rate is $3 an hour and you then get a ticket to place in your dash. I did actually learn from an out of towner that there is an app that can be downloaded called Passport Parking. It offers a discounted rate, but is still $2.50 an hour. I think the rate is a deterrent IMO, but I guess the city of Folly Beach has to generate revenue somehow. At high tide, there is not a lot of beach area, but after the renourishments, there is some beach at least. Do not climb across the rocks! Use the crosswalks instead and save the sea oats...the few that still exist. Also, do not litter! There are trash receptacles scattered along the beach, usually at crosswalks, but pack your stuff in and out like an adult. This location is locally named for the strong currents and the fact that the narrow land has actually been washed out. After Hurricane Hugo, a lot of effort went into re-creating the road and beach that exists today. It was completely washed through to the River with a drop off of probably 20-30 feet where the road should have been. The name was used way prior to Hugo, but that event just embodies the vulnerability of the area and the potential impact of the wonderful surf/waves that we all love. Pura Vida!

My daughter and her husband and two of their three sons and I went on a charter fishing trip with…read moreCaptain Justin Ravenel today. The very adept captain grew up in the Greater Edisto area and has had a passion for fishing his entire life. He knows the ins and outs of fishing around Edisto. Each of my two grandsons caught a pretty large Bonnethead Shark. The oldest caught another smaller Bonnethead. The middle grand son caught an impressive sized Ladyfish. Captain Justin took a picture of the unusually large Ladyfish to share with the other fishing captains in the area. It was a three hour fishing trip with four rather nice fish. The good captain provides the bait and baits each member of the fishing parties hooks. He also unhooks the fish! Captain Justin has a great personality and he likes people. He has a 24 foot boat equipped with a 150 hp. outboard engine. Overall it was a satisfying trip and I strongly recommend the services of Ravenel Fishing Charters.

He offered us things to do or see or he gave us an option to anchor and go ashore. I loved all my options and he honestly would have been happy with whatever we wanted to do.

It was so much fun and I would recommend him to my family and friends!

After a bit of research, we ended up on Captain Jerry Slayton's boat for a two-hour sail. Captain Jerry (who is USCG licensed and ASA certified) provided a short safety orientation and invited us to roam the craft as we pleased. We had the absolutely best time! The Captain was not only a top-notch sailor, he was also a top-notch guy, personable and fun. His sailboat was beautiful, comfortable, and spotless. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. It rained like crazy while we were out, which made for an even more exciting, interesting, and beautiful experience. The six of us highly recommend a sail with Captain Jerry. You will love it!
