Located 10 miles from downtown Charleston, South Carolina, Folly Beach is a favorite travel destination for some R&R. Folly has it all: Clean beaches, delicious food, comfortable accommodations, unpretentious character, and memorable beauty. Here are some must-do’s while visiting Folly Beach:
- ) Enjoy some yummy food at local favorites such as Taco Boy – where tacos, nachos, and margaritas steal the show – and Woody’s Pizza, the best place on Folly to grab a pizza, subs, and cold beer.
2.) Work off that food by doing something active – kayaking, taking surfing lessons, and renting a paddleboard all are excellent choices.
3.) Venture to the northeast end of Folly Beach to see the historical Morris Island Lighthouse. Due to erosion, the lighthouse is no longer in operation but it still is a sight to be seen.
4.) Watch the sunrise. One of the best spots to catch the sunrise is by Morris Island Lighthouse. The views will not disappoint!
5.) Relax and just lounge on the beach. This view never gets old…
6.) Enjoy some live music — You can check out this listing of local events to find an artist/venue that suits you.
7.) Reserve your stay at Water’s Edge Inn, The Tides (this is where we stay!), or rent a beach house.
8.) Walk the pier – the quintessential beach staple.
9.) Brunch! The Lost Dog Cafe and Rita’s Seaside Grille are both absolutely excellent choices. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menus!
10.) Shop on Center Street. Buy a souvenir or two.
Folly is the best! Most of all, relax and enjoy yourself. Folly Beach is casual and laid-back – the epitome of what a vacation should be! For more information, visit FollyBeach.com. Enjoy!

We love Loggerheads and Follywood as well. The area has changed much, but keeps its charm.
Taco Boy is the BEST!! Fishing off the pier is also a great experience. You can also take a boat tour out to Morris Island, highly recommend it. Still one of my favorite all time things we’ve done in about 10 years of vacationing on Folly.
