The Best Fripp Island Nightlife
Fripp Island isn’t exactly a bastion of crazy nightlife that you get at more lively beach destinations like Myrtle Beach. Our nightlife consists of relaxing evenings sitting pool or dockside with your favorite drink while taking in a sunset and listening to live music. It’s the perfect way to cap off a day at the beach. Below are some of our favorite places to grab a drink and toast to Lowcountry life at its finest.
The Sandbar
Pina Coladas and Rumrunners are favorites at this poolside watering hole. Not only is The Sandbar a great place to kick back and relax with your favorite drink while your kids play in the pool, but you can also looking out across the ocean as the sun sets for a relaxing evening with your family.
Ocean View Lounge
The Ocean View Lounge is the closest thing to classic nightlife on Fripp Island. Soak in stunning views of the Atlantic (hence the name) while enjoying your favorite drink and participating in karaoke, family night, and one of our other fun events throughout the summer!
Bonito Boathouse
If you want to savor delicious Lowcountry cuisine in a waterfront setting, make sure you head over to the Bonito Boathouse. Here, Fripp Island nightlife consists of a relaxing dinner with your family as you dig into tasty seafood and cocktails while watching the sunset over the marsh.
Off the Island
While Fripp Island has everything you need for the perfect family getaway to the Lowcountry, there are a handful of places that offer fun nightlife off the island. St. Helena Island is home to a few waterfront eateries where you can kick back and enjoy great food, drinks, and live music every week during the summer.
