Review & FAQ:

Folly Beach, commonly referred to as the "edge of America," is a lovely barrier island community that is known as one of the East Coast's top surfing destinations. More than 2,500 feet of beachfront provides excellent opportunities for a wide array of summer water sports, including kayaking and swimming, with an additional lifeguarded swimming area offered at Folly Beach County Park. Its Folly Beach Fishing Pier is the East Coast's second-longest public pier, stretching more than 1,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. Within the town of Folly Beach, which is considered to be one of the nation's final remaining authentic beach towns, visitors can explore the George Gershwin-associated Porgy House or explore eclectic beachfront boutiques, bars, and restaurants.
