With beautiful weather, ocean breezes, and plenty of places to raise a glass, all you need to do is pick your spot — or hop around and enjoy a little bit of everything.
Here’s where to sip, savor, and celebrate today on Folly Beach:
Taco Boy
Known for throwing some of the best parties on the island, Taco Boy is a can’t-miss for Cinco de Mayo. Expect a lively crowd, festive décor, signature margaritas, and plenty of tacos to keep the celebration going strong.
Rita’s Seaside Grille
Looking for a classic beach bar experience? Rita’s Seaside Grille has you covered with margaritas full of fresh flavor and a menu made for beachgoers. Grab a seat outside, sip something spicy or sweet, and let the afternoon unfold.
Pier 101
Nothing says Folly quite like sipping a margarita over the ocean. Pier 101 serves up a classic house margarita — fresh, crisp, and perfect for a laid-back Cinco celebration right on the iconic Folly Beach Pier.
BLU Beach Bar & Grill
Steps from the sand, BLU offers the ultimate beachfront escape. Their BLU Rita is a house favorite, best enjoyed with a seafood platter and a sunset view. Stick around for live music as the evening rolls in.
Lowlife Bar
If you’re after something a little off the beaten path, Lowlife Bar’s inventive takes on classic cocktails are worth a visit. Their Ghost Tequila Skinny Margarita is a lighter, spicier spin that’s perfect for a sunny afternoon.
The Drop In Bar & Deli
For an all-day fiesta, head to The Drop In. With music, cold drinks, and a friendly crowd, it’s the kind of spot where you might arrive for lunch and stay well past sunset.
