New Year’s Eve & Day Are Better On Folly

Published On: December 11, 2015

Join us on New Year’s Eve on Folly Beach for our annual Flip Flop Drop! Gather with other revelers on Center Street to watch the giant pair of flip-flops descending from the top of Tides beachfront hotel at midnight! It’s the perfect way to ring in 2016.

The next morning, a little hair of the dog AND a dip in the ocean should get your head back in good shape.

The Bill Murray Look-A-Like Polar Plunge will take place on New Year’s Day right on Folly Beach! Dress as your favorite Bill Murray character and celebrate New Year’s Day by taking a plunge into Folly’s frigid ocean water with lots of other Bill Murray wannabes! Registration starts at 12 pm and the plunge will take place at 2 pm. Awards will be given out to the Best Girl, Best Guy, Best Team and Best Overall Bill Murray! A portion of the proceeds will benefit Folly Beach local charities.

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.
