The Magical Folly Wish Tree

The Magical Folly Wish Tree

Sometimes just being on Folly is a wish come true, but this goes a step further.

One of the lesser-known but truly magical landmarks on Folly is called The Folly Wish Tree. It is said that if you hang a shell on one of the branches and make a wish, it will come true.

To find the Wish Tree, head just past the County Park on the West end of the island. You’ll hear the tinkling shells blowing in the breeze as you get closer.

Go ahead and give it a try.

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.
