Bowen's Island Oyster House Reopens On Folly Road
Bowen's Island on a tiny causeway near Folly Road reopens with a casual vibe and all you can eat oysters. The sign proclaims now open as locals recall the place from Charleston weekend nights and schoolbook memories. The 14 acre island, bought in 1946 for 3900 dollars by Robert Barber’s grandparents, sits low above sea level as tides rise.
