Folly Beach

Folly Beach lies along the Atlantic coast of Folly Island, a low-lying barrier island shaped by broad sand beaches, dunes, and tidal marshes. The Folly River and surrounding creeks connect this small coastal community to the Charleston-area estuary, while the oceanfront draws surfers, anglers, and beachgoers. Across the inlet near the island’s northeastern end, the Morris Island Lighthouse, completed in 1876, remains a prominent marker at the entrance to Charleston Harbor. Folly Beach has a casual, largely residential character distinct from Charleston’s urban peninsula, with local businesses concentrated around Center Street.
