Check in to Tides, Folly Beach's only oceanfront hotel which sits in the middle of the action. The hotel's bright and beautiful rooms offer panoramic views of the Atlantic and its beachside pool offers an ocean alternative.
Since the 1930s, beachgoers have long flocked to Folly Beach's iconic pier and boardwalk. Pier 101 - the latest addition to Folly's dining scene - is a vintage throwback to carefree beach days through the decades. Expect cold drinks, fried seafood and live music that might inspire a shag or two.
Wake to another sun-soaked day and gear up for a heart-pumping ride in the waves, lots of local catch and the reward of ice cold refreshment as the night draws to a close.
Learn to surf from the pros and native Charlestonians with Charleston Salt Surf Lessons. Each instructor was born and raised near the ocean, meaning their lessons are tailor-made to suit Folly's tides, waves and current.
Consistently named one of South Carolina's best seafood spots, the Folly Beach Crab Shack is a true institution. A shrimp basket and order of crab legs with melted butter are almost mandatory, as is sipping on a glass of sweet tea as you enjoy a leisurely lunch.
Find a perch at the pier, set high above the shore, to test your luck at saltwater fishing. Drop in a line and reel in catches like redfish and flounder as waves crash below the 23-foot-high landmark. Linger into the evening to catch a Moonlight Mixer, a once-monthly summertime tradition. *PLEASE NOTE: THE PIER IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR REPLACEMENT CONSTRUCTION UNTIL SPRING 2023.
All good things must come to an end. Spend your final moments on Folly eating, drinking and exploring to your heart's content.
Embark on a guided tour of the "Edge of America" with Charleston Outdoor Adventures. Glide through marshes, creeks, tidal flats and barrier islands where wildlife like osprey, wading birds and sea turtles await your visit.
After paddling up an appetite, Rita's Seaside Grill offers the promise of a great burger and cold beer. Its colorful, shaded patio is perfect for the whole family. Settle in for an afternoon of relaxation.
