There’s never a dull moment on Folly Beach, whether you’re a local or just passing through. With sun, sand, and great company, the options are endless! Here are some upcoming events on Folly that you won’t want to miss:

Folly Beach is home to lots of bars/restaurants that love live music. Nothing says summer like relaxing on a deck or patio with a cold drink and a great band. Locations like Loggerhead’s, The Crab Shack, Snapper Jacks, St. James Gate, and more welcome various artists (and karaoke!) for Folly-goers to enjoy. There’s something for everyone, everyday of the week, so head over to our calendar of events and check some out!

Who doesn’t love a Farmers Market? Every Monday, take a stroll through the market, forget your stresses from the work day, and pick up some great finds along the way!

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.
