– Folly Beach –

Folly Beach, affectionately known as “The Edge of America,” is a vibrant coastal community just minutes from downtown Charleston. This barrier island, with its rich history dating back to the late 17th century, has evolved from a remote plantation to a beloved beach town. The island’s six miles of pristine shoreline are dotted with an eclectic mix of colorful beach cottages, modern homes, and local businesses.

Unlike the more manicured beaches of the area, Folly Beach retains a laid-back, bohemian spirit. Its walkable downtown, centered around Center Street, offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars, fostering a strong sense of community. The iconic Folly Beach Pier and the Morris Island Lighthouse serve as landmarks, connecting the present to the island’s maritime past.
