Hold On To Your Butt
Eco-friendly cigarette disposal just got easier! Folly Beach is proud to be working in partnership with the Charleston chapter of the Surfrider Foundation on their campaign, Hold On To Your Butt!
The Charleston Surfrider Foundation is a grass-roots nonprofit protecting beaches, oceans, and waterways across the United States. Their mission is to protect waterways we love so dearly. The natural beauty of the coastline draws over 5 million visitors and $4.2 billion to Charleston each year. Our entire lives are built upon the amazing natural environment of Charleston. The biggest problem we face as a community is that pollution is endangering our beautiful home.
Thus the initiative, Hold On To Your Butt, was born! Cigarette buds are the most common litter found on beaches worldwide, and 98% of these cigarettes contain plastic fibers that are harmful to our wildlife. Hold On To Your Butt is a campaign that seeks to educate our community while working to keep our beaches clean and wildlife safe!
You may see new eco-friendly receptacles placed around Folly Beach for easy disposal. We ask that you join us in our effort to protect the place we love!

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.
