Word on the street
What locals are saying
Sand Dollar Social Club has been the most honest bar on Folly Beach since 1976 — a $1-a-year membership (approved on the spot, note card and all) gets you into a dark, wood-paneled room where Bud cans stay at $1.50, motorcycles line the curb, and indoor smoking is still a constitutional right. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays pulls beach music, classic rock, and Motown, and the back bar becomes a proper dance floor where the crowd — bikers, hippie chicks, sunburned tourists, and 80-year-old regulars — shags until 2 a.m. without irony. It has outlasted Hurricane Hugo, periodic flooding, and the slow gentrification of Center Street, remaining resolutely, almost defiantly, unchanged.
