Having traveled to many beaches in the United States, Mexico, Greece, Carribbean, and even the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, Folly Beach remains my absolute favorite. The Secret: I LOVE the WAVES!!! Not too little, not too big, just right for body surfing, floating around, boogie boarding, skim boarding, and even real surfing. The sand is fine, with shell or shark tooth hunting as local favorites! At low tide, the many tidal pools are famous for toddler wading areas. Folly is home to many surfers & East Coast surf contests, with lessons available to beginners! Folly is a fun beach town, close to Charleston, which is the #1 tourist destination in America for so many reasons. Folly is best known for it's hospitality, beautiful beach, great seafood, and fun nightlife. The serene Lowcountry skies, with transformative sunrises and sunsets are all enchanting. An evening walk on the beach, on a moonlit night, with the moonbeans guiding your way and many stars shining their bright lights along the shoreline is memorable for all ages.
Only 20 minutes to Charleston, home to historical architecture and famous venues, Charleston is a "foodie town." Many chefs have received rewards for their innovative, and often Southern, "table to farm," cuisine. Boating and fishing are very popular, with boat captains available from Folly to Charleston, to enjoy dolphin watching, sports fishing, parasailing, jet skiis, kayaking, SUP, and water skiiing!
Charleston is a most popular wedding venue! An oceanfront wedding is a very special dream come true!
The magnificent plantations, with award winning gardens are home for tourists and events. Our town is filled with amazing supportive event services, such as catering and even horse drawn carraiges!
Lastly, we are home of the Yorktown, a public museum for all ages to witness the vast military ship, with a museum for military heros!
Charleston and Folly have something for everyone and for all ages! Come to a port of many possibilities!.
