Folly Beach Named One of the 14 Best Beach Towns in the South for Summer

Folly Beach has been named one of the 14 Best Beach Towns in the South for Summer by Trips to Discover. The list features multiple southern beaches from Virginia to Florida. The perfect beach town, according to Trips to Discover, has to offer recreational activities, and mouthwatering cuisine, including plenty of fresh seafood.

Here’s why Trips to Discover thinks Folly Beach is special: “Located just 20 minutes outside of Charleston, Folly Beach offers a barefoot kind of vibe on a six-mile-long sandbar. Colonial-style homes and palm trees can be found throughout, along with plenty of tasty food and drink, including the Folly Beach Pier, popular for cocktails that can be enjoyed at the open-air bar. Live music is offered nightly at several restaurants here too. When you’re at the beach, enjoy everything from surfing to paddleboarding. From the magnificent Lighthouse Heritage Preserve with its driftwood-strewn sands, you’ll enjoy a fabulous view of Morris Island Lighthouse.”

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.
