April Monthly Spotlight: Mr John’s Beach Store
April Monthly Spotlight: Mr John’s Beach Store
Mr. John’s Beach Store was started in 1951 by current owner Paul Chrysostom’s parents, John and Rachel. Originally, it was a beach store with a Rexall pharmacy in the back. Paul’s mother, Rachel was the pharmacist, and it was complete with a soda fountain! Paul bought the business in 1989, the year after his father passed away and renamed the store Mr. John’s to honor his father, John. Today the beach store offers just about anything a visitor or local would need – from beach towels, to chairs, to trinkets, bathing suits, jewelry, and more!
Peaceful & Beautiful
This was my families first time at the ocean and I will never forget the look of joy on my youngest daughter’s face the moment the waves first came up on her feet. The beach was not over crowded, was clean, and was great for relaxing, swimming, and collecting seashells. There is a long pier for fishing off of and it is a beautiful sight at night. The town atmosphere was a nice mix between relaxing and having a good time and can work for the over 21 crowd as well as for families with small kids. There are plenty of great food stops and cute shops.
Fantastic & Peaceful
This beach is very relaxing and a great place to chill out. We saw several dolphins and enjoyed walking on the fishing pier. I would consider staying on the beach here next time we are in Charleston instead of downtown.
Cute, Calm & Peaceful
First time visitor to Folly Beach–loved it! Quiet and peaceful with many trees left on island.
