Eight short miles from historic Charleston, Folly Beach, SC is a 6 and a half mile long natural barrier island destination for surfers and vacationers.  The 6 mile island is home to nearly 1,600 full-time residents and is only a 14 minute ride to Historic downtown Charleston. Folly Beach South Carolina is known for its preserved coastal beauty and southern charm.

Some of the many draws for Folly Beach include its 600acre plus beach front county park that has nearly 2,500 feet of ocean frontage.  Morris Island Lighthouse is also a recreational highlight.  The lighthouse was first built to guide ships off the rocky coast in 1673.  In 1775 the lighthouse was extinguished in order to prevent it from guiding the British ships to shore.  The light house that exist today is 102 feet tall and was rebuilt in 1838.  It is a must see attraction.  The Folly Beach pier is also a recreational favorite on the beach for fishing and dining.  The 24 foot wide pier stretches some 1,000 plus feet into the Atlantic Ocean and offers spectacular views of the beach.  If fishing or checking out the scenery isn’t your thing you may want to visit the piers full service seafood restaurant.

Besides the normal water activities of parasailing, water-skiing, surf-fishing and kite boarding Folly beach is also known for some of the East Coast best Surfing.  The “wash out” on the east end of the island plays host annually to various surfing tournaments.  Not only is Folly beach known for its daytime activities but it is also known for its night life.  The center of town in Folly Beach has been revitalized and is definitely a hot spot you don’t want to miss.  Some of my favorites include The Lost Dog, The Surfer Bar, Eleven Center Street and Taco Boy.
