How best to enjoy Folly Beach
Folly Beach Public Beach
Explore this fine sand beach and look out over the Atlantic as yachts bob a few hundred metres from the shore and kids splash in the water. There's always something going on Folly Beach.
Folly Beach Fishing Pier
Fishing, birding and views of the ocean await you on this thousand foot pier stretching into the Atlantic. 25 feet above sea level, the pier is the second longest on the east coast. It's also the location of fishing tournaments, special events and fine dining.
Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve
Wander through the preserve, with its array of wildlife, from sea turtles to rare piping plovers. Stroll along the beach or enjoy surf fishing, with views of Morris Island Lighthouse. It's the perfect backdrop for a family photograph.
Folly Beach County Park
This beach at the island's west end is encircled by the Folly River and Atlantic ocean. Lifeguards are on duty as it's a prime swimming spot, where one can wade out through the gradually deepening and seasonally balmy water. Skimmer Flats, a rookery for the eastern brown pelican, is a natural wonder of the area.
Douglass Panzone Graffiti Murals
Douglass Panzone's vibrant outdoor murals have become intrinsic to the visual identity of Charleston. Among the stunning architecture of the city's port and sacred buildings, these bright and imaginative images adorn the few unloved spaces in the city. Thought-provoking subject matter and masterful execution unite to make these beloved by locals and visitors who photograph them endlessly.
