Folly Beach is a coastal community and barrier island in the state of South Carolina that is full of charm and history and located only around fifteen minutes away from downtown Charleston. Local residents refer to Folly Beach as the “Edge of America,” a place where visitors can start their day watching the sunrise and end with an amazing sunset. The eastern end of the island offers a spectacular view of the nearby Morris Island Lighthouse. The Fishing Pier at Folly Beach extends over 1,045 feet out into the Atlantic Ocean and hosts several fishing tournaments throughout the year. Map
