Published On: August 8, 2017

Folly Beach has recently been named one of the “10 Best Little Surf Towns in America” by Coastal Living.

The article reads, “The Washout—named for a stretch of beach where houses were washed away by a hurricane—has been known to get 10-foot waves, but anyone can enjoy the thrill of surfing alongside the Folly Beach Pier, a local landmark stretching 1,000 feet into the ocean.”

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.
