If you head to the beach on Sullivan's Island and are hungry, make a stop at Poe's. Fair warning: it's almost always packed. If you grab lunch, they have a great burger, too.

This is Dana's favorite cafe to hit up for wi-fi access and good, strong coffee drinks. You'll find there are only a handful of cafe's who offer internet in Charleston - great spot if you're in town on business and need to plug in for a while.

We almost don't want to tell you about this because we love it so much (we kid). Seriously, our favorite post-beach grab-a-beer-and-wings dive spot. And a favorite among the surfer crowd on Folly. During the late Fall and Winter, grab a seat on the patio by the fire.

Eating a Renzo for us is like having dinner with our family. We prefer to grab seats at the bar and catch up with their staff. The boquerones are a delicious treat, as is the eggplant ravini. All of the pizza's are amazing and you'll want to grab a gelato or sweet treat before you leave.

UPDATE: Hurricane Matthew damaged Botany Bay pretty severely - do a bit of research to check if they've reopened before making the drive.
If you have 2+ days and a car, Botany Bay is absolutely stunning. Drive around and explore, then park and walk to the water. They have steep fines for shelling, so everything is left as-is. Seemingly untouched.
