Folly Beach Named in Southern Living Magazine’s 50 Best Small Towns in the South
From the gnarly waves that bring surfers from all over, to the warm Southern hospitality welcome from the locals, Folly Beach’s laid-back, come-as-you-are vibes are what make it one of the best small towns in the south.
Just minutes from the heart of the beautiful and historic city of Charleston, Folly offers six miles of wide beaches full of great adventures including surfing, fishing, biking, kayaking, boating, eco-tours, and so much more. Memories are made here as you spend time with your loved ones, relax to sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and admire our sea wildlife. Including the several endangered species that call Folly home.
We are honored to have been chosen as one of the top places in Southern Living Magazine’s 2023 South Best Awards by voters. We are proud to say that our visitors and locals alike feel at home here on Folly and we could not ask for anything more.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend getaway, or a vacation full of fun adventures and relaxation on our beautiful shores, look no further than the Edge of America, Folly Beach, South Carolina.
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.
