Fun Activities on Folly that Won’t Break the Bank
Summertime is in the air and that means more free time! Whether you are vacationing, or just enjoying Folly for the day, we have you covered on some fun activities that all ages can enjoy and will not leave your pockets empty!
1.Catch a FREE movie on the beach! Every Wednesday night from now until September 17 at 8pm the Tides Hotel! For a schedule of all of the movies, check out our Visit Folly calendar here!
2. For just $10, learn how to shag at a Moonlight Mixers. Hosted by The Charleston County Park & Recreation Department on the Pier, this free event occurs on Friday, August 19 and September 16 from 7-11pm. The “Carolina Shag” is said to have originated along the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina all the way to Wilmington, North Carolina. This partner dance typically done to the sound of beach music, is the perfect way to dance the night away.
3. Venture down and catch a view of the Morris Island Lighthouse! Located on the entrance of the Charleston Harbor, this landmark was named on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Standing a couple hundred feet off the shoreline, this lighthouse was built in 1876!
So whether you are getting your groove on, or learning about Folly’s history there, the options are endless on Folly Beach!
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.
