5 Things That Make The Edge of America So Special
There’s something for everyone at Folly Beach, one of Charleston, South Carolina’s unique treasures. No matter what age or interest, you’ll want to add exploring Charleston’s #1 beach town to your to-do list. Here are some reasons why Folly Beach is so special.
1. The terrain: The flat sand on Folly Beach makes exercising entertaining and refreshing from your usual routine. You will find people playing football, running and riding bikes right along the shore.
2. The different parts of the beach: Folly Beach has many different parts of the actual island itself. Explore the edge of the island and you’ll find the surfers at the Washout, catching some of South Carolina’s best waves. Hang your hammock under the pier in the heart of Folly and enjoy the action of people playing beach volleyball and enjoying the water. Take a stroll to the Morris Island Lighthouse and explore all of the history that Folly Beach has to offer.
3. The food: With countless restaurants on the island, there is something for everyone’s pallet. If seafood isn’t your thing, that’s no problem! You’ll find American, Mexican, Chinese and even an Irish Pub along with the freshest seafood in town!
4. The events: Folly knows how to have a good time! We proudly host events like Folly Gras, Follypalooza, the Sea and Sand Festival, Taste of Folly, a Christmas Parade and not to mention we’re a fabulous wedding destination.
5. The location: Not many places can say they’re a short drive away from a beautiful historic city such as Charleston, and we know you’ll love the southern charm just as much as we do. Beach by day, downtown by night!
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.
