John...You should move a little further down the Carolina coast yourself and check out Edisto Island, Beaufort, Hunting Island, Fripp Island, Colleton River, Bluffton, Hilton Head etc. You seem to have stopped venturing south of Charleston but the greatest old south historic atmosphere begins at Charleston and only gets better further south. These little hamlets are the real treasures of South Carolina and much better kept secrets than Folly Beach which is not such a special place in comparison to the other even lesser known destinations that are within an hour and a half drive! Then after you pass Hilton Head just head on down the Georgia coast into Savannah where the fun all begins again!
