Get your calendars out; we have a season full of holiday events coming up on Folly Beach!
Start your holidays at our Appointment with Santa event at Folly River Park on December 10th at 5pm. The kiddos can share their Christmas wishlists with Santa and his elves! Continue the celebration with the Folly Christmas Parade! On December 11th, line up along Center Street as floats, marching bands, and community associations parade through Folly as they show their holiday spirit. The parade starts at noon, and immediately following the parade, walk down to Folly River Park to join Santa and grab some holiday goodies!
When it comes to ringing in the new year, we do it Folly style! Make plans to head to Center Street nice and early on Friday, December 31st for the popular Flip-Flop Drop & Fireworks show! Center Street will be closed to auto traffic starting at 10pm so that revelers can join together in the street to witness the sparkly flip-flops descend from high over Folly, marking the stroke of midnight. Soon after, a grand display of fireworks will blast out from the beach. A Refreshing dip and a little hair of the dog await you on Saturday, January 1st at the Annual Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Plunge. Meet beachside at the Tides Hotel and plunge into the great Atlantic ocean dressed as your favorite Bill Murray character. After that, meander through the bars, restaurants, and shops of Folly for cocktail specials and more holiday cheer!
Visitors and locals are all welcome to join in the Folly Beach festivities! For more details on our holiday events or to register for the Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Plunge and costume contest, please visit VisitFolly.com.
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.
