When looking for a little on-land adventure, try renting a bicycle and cruise the island. With several parks and lots of nature trails, you’ll get to experience the beauty of Folly Beach from different perspectives.
The Folly Beach Fishing Pier is also a must-see when exploring! The pier stretches 1,045 feet into the Atlantic and is perfect place to enjoy fishing, walking, birding and of course – breathtaking views! At 25 feet wide and 23 feet above sea level, the pier is the 2nd longest on the East Coast.
The Morris Island Lighthouse remains a beloved historical site for both locals and visitors just north of Folly Beach! Learn the history of Morris Island during one of our eco-tours or excursions.

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.
