Koko’s on the Pier

Intro / Overview

Located at the entrance of the famous Folly Beach Pier, Koko’s on the Pier is a reimagined restaurant and bar that replaced the longtime favorite Pier 101. Operated by Avocet Hospitality Group, Koko’s blends a playful, tropical “Follynesian” concept with the same panoramic Atlantic Ocean views and laid-back pier-side setting locals and visitors have long loved.

Menu Highlights

Koko’s keeps some Pier 101 favorites, like fried seafood baskets and classic bar fare, while adding tropical cocktails, shareable plates, and island-inspired dishes to the menu. Expect a mix of coastal comfort food and playful tiki-bar touches that fit the new concept’s laid-back, beachy energy.

Atmosphere & Experience

The setting draws on vintage tiki-lounge inspiration – a nod to Kokomo’s Lounge, a 1950s-era watering hole once popular with servicemen visiting Folly Beach – reworked into what staff jokingly call a “Follynesian” experience: part beach bar, part tiki hideaway, part family restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and unbeatable pier views round out the vibe.

Why It Stands Out

As one of only a handful of restaurants located directly on the Folly Beach Pier, Koko’s offers an oceanfront dining experience that’s hard to match anywhere else on the island, now paired with a fresh, colorful concept and lively entertainment.
