Folly Beach Wahine Classic
The Folly Beach Wahine Classic, an annual women’s surf contest, returns for its 21st year on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30. The Folly Beach Wahine Classic is a non-profit organization that aims to empower women of all ages and skill levels and benefits Charleston Surfrider, Waves For Women, and other local ocean-based non-profits.
Hosted annually for over two decades at Folly Beach, “wahines,” or women surfers, travel to compete at the nationally recognized all-girls surf contest. Locals have shown love and support every year for the event.
Each year, the Folly Beach Wahine Classic strives to make the event a plastic-free, low-waste event. For the first time in 21 years, they are taking it one step further by hosting a sustainability giveaway with the Charleston chapter of the Surfrider Foundation! All participants who bring their reusable items like water bottles will be entered to win a fun, environmentally friendly prize.

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.
