One of the things we love most about South Carolina is the forward motion found in many of the small towns that surround the state’s largest cities. One spot that seems to always be growing and expanding is known as the Edge of America. In the past couple of decades, Folly Beach has grown in leaps and bounds. If it’s been a while since you visited Folly, it may be time to reconnect with the laid-back community where flip flops and tie-dyed shirts are still every day attire – in spite of all of the growth.
In recent years, dining out at Folly has taken on a whole new perspective.
And there's no better evidence of the change than at the recently opened Wiki Wiki Sandbar — a tiki-themed restaurant with a Hawaiian vibe.
The eatery nearly spans a full city block and doles out five different dining spaces, each with its own signature. We love the giant floating octopus that hangs high above the Octopus Bar and you will too!
Upstairs, you'll find a real tiki bar, complete with a thatch roof and an open-air deck for some of the best ocean views available high above it all on the island.
And on the menu, American fare is blended with Polynesian goodness in items that will make you return the next day for another taste of the same. The Kalua Pork Street Tacos are a fine example.
If you're an out-of-towner and headed to Wiki Wiki Sandbar for the first time, check out Saturday or Sunday brunch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every weekend.
Wiki Wiki Sandbar's unique architecture includes huge garage door-type windows that open up entire walls to the outside. It's a lovely way to watch the sun go down while dining, even if you're facing East.
Wiki Wiki Sandbar is open year-round. The hours are Monday – Thursday 12 pm. – 10 p.m., Friday 12 p.m. – 11 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Learn more on the official website and go here to follow the Facebook page.
