The Sun and the Moon Are Coming Together Over Folly Beach
On Monday, August 21st, 2017 a total solar eclipse will trace across the country from the Pacific to the Atlantic with it’s path crossing near Folly Beach. The last time most Americans observed a total solar eclipse was in 1991 and such an event will not happen on this scale again until 2045. On Monday, the moon will move to completely cover the sun for a total of 2 minutes and 40 seconds and parts of Folly Beach will be in the path of totality which in total is around 70 miles wide. It is unsafe to look directly at a solar eclipse so you must use the proper safely precautions when viewing. For more information about the eclipse, visit https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/
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.
