The Edge of America
The Edge of America
One of the most iconic elements of Folly Beach has to be the Edwin S. Taylor Folly Beach Fishing Pier. Spanning 1,045 feet into the vast Atlantic Ocean, the Pier offers incredible views, not to mention exceptional salt water fishing. The recognizable Pier stretches 25 feet wide and 23 feet above sea level and is the second largest on the east coast. The Pier offers oceanfront dining at Pier 101, beach access, restrooms, rod rentals and an entire season of fishing tournaments. Built in 1931, it stands today as one of the most important parts of our beloved 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.
