Beaches of Charleston

For those of you that live landlocked…

You have come to the right place. Downtown is just a jump, skip and a heartbeat away from the Atlantic Ocean. They call Folly Beach the Edge of America. Sullivan’s Island is a nature preserve and Isle of Palms has several beach bars to keep you

S U M M E R I S F A B U L O U S !

See them all! Folly Beach . From the hostel, take a right, go over the bridge and veer left towards Folly. You will be on the beach in 9 miles! Turn when you dead end to head towards the washout, where they have the best surf in South Carolina. A favorite of college kids, you can drink beer in a plastic cup on Folly. You can fish off the pier and stroll along the white sandy beach.

The cure for anything is salt water- sweat, tears, or the sea.

Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms: From the hostel, take a right out of the driveway, a right at President Street and a right onto crosstown. Go onto I-26 briefly and take the exit on the right towards Mt. Pleasant. Take the exit on the right for Coleman Blvd. You will run into the beach! At the dead end, you have arrived at Sullivan’s Island. Turn right for Fort Moultire or left for Isle of Palms. Sullivan’s Island is a nature preserve and has no commercial development on the shore. Dolphin sightings are frequent and the sand bar is a beautiful way to explore the ocean. You’ll find sand dollars and starfish- be sure to put them back into the ocean. Enjoy!

Yoga Studios

So many to choose from! Go to www.charlestonyogi.com for a complete list of

every studio and their schedules.

Bikram Yoga Located just a few doors down from the hostel, this yoga practice is not for the faint hearted. The room is kept at 105 degrees with 40% humidity. 26 yoga poses and 2 breathing exercises will make you sweat! 137 President Street (843) 884-3737

Charleston Power Yoga Another good yoga workout studio, they have a community class Friday early evening for those on a budget. 517 King Street (843) 513-3400

Holy Cow Yoga Studio

Located in West Ashley just over the bridge in the Earth Fare shopping center, Holy Cow is the real deal. The owner Trace is extremely knowledgeable about asana practice as well as the philosophical and spiritual aspect of yoga. Classes range from slow and relaxing to advanced and fast paced. They have a beautiful store attached to the studio that offers yoga clothes and books for the aspiring and practiced yogi. 10 Windermere Blvd. (843)769-2269

Jivamukti Yoga

The most spiritual based yoga practice in Charleston, each class begins with chanting and study of yogic scripture. Classes are demanding and inspiring- I highly recommend their morning meditation (free!). The only other Jivamukti studio in the United States is in New York City. We are so lucky to have this studio in Charleston! 320 Coleman Blvd- in Mt. P (843 817-3899
