Folly Beach, nicknamed the Edge of America, is located on one of Charleston's barrier islands and is home to 2400 residents. It is conveniently located adjacent to James Island and is only a short 15 minute drive to the Historic District of downtown Charleston.
Homes on the island include a blend of single-family cottages, large island homes and a variety of small condominum complexes. Locations of homes include beachfront, marshfront, riverfront, as well as island interior homes. The views are amazing and the sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed. Residents on Folly are environmentally conscious and willing to preserve the area's land and wildlife. The preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse, beach renourishment projects and the turtle watch program are all in place to protect and preserve the island's integrity.
The island atmosphere and mild climate fosters outdoor activities year round. Water activities include fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, surfing as well as charter fishing and dolphin tours. Boating and fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the public boat landing on the Folly River and fisherman will also enjoy the 1045 ft. long pier that hosts fishing tournaments and offers a gift and tackle shop. The pier is also the location of several dances and mixers and has a restaurant on location, bringing locals and visitors together to enjoy food and music along with gentle beach breezes. The wide, flat beaches are ideal for walking and bicycling and playgrounds on the island offer entertainment for the little ones.
Festivals and other events abound on Folly! The year always begins with the Polar Bear Plunge, a New Year's Day tradition! Other festivals include the Taste of Folly, FollyGras Parade and Street Festival, Sea and Sand Festival, Summer Family Fun Nights and the annual Christmas Parade. Ongoing events include Art in the Park, story time at the library, live music at various venues and the Wednesday Farmers Market. Shops that dot the main street, Center Street, offer a variety of items from basic island essentials to souvenirs. The restaurant scene on Folly Beach is quite extensive for this sized island! Restaurants offer cuisines ranging from seafood favorites to basic burgers and fries. Grab a cup of coffee at your favorite shop or dine alfresco at your favorite sandwich shop.
