Delaney Oyster House
115 Calhoun St10/10 oysters and small plates
The best spot to hang out and have lunch/dinner (we’ve stayed for both after a few game changers). They have the best wings in town, and the fried ribs are also outstanding.

Beaches
If you’re traveling during the warm months, odds are you might be wanting to spend some time relaxing by the ocean. There are three beaches near here: 1. Folly: closest to us (20 mins), we love its low key vibe, cute little bars and restaurants, but fair warning if it’s a weekend morning people travel from far and wide so you could have a 45 min drive. 2. Sullivan’s: our other go to spot, must get home team bbq or co-op frosé, parking is a little tough but usually quick to get to. 3. Isle of palms: a little bit further out but nice beaches, check out the windjammer for live music.
