Expert notes

• Folly Beach is a beach town that offers visitors a variety of things to do, from surfing and fishing to kayaking and paddleboarding. It's also home to a vibrant arts and music scene, with live music performances, art galleries, and street festivals happening throughout the year. One of the noteworthy things to do at Folly Beach is to visit the Folly Beach Pier, which offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular spot for fishing and strolling. Folly Beach County Park is a great place to spend a day, with its pristine beaches, picnic areas, and nature trails. We recommend visitors bring sunscreen and plenty of water, especially during the summer months when the heat can be intense. Rent a bike and explore the island on two wheels. Check out the local art galleries and shops along Center Street. Take a dolphin-watching tour to see these magnificent creatures up close.
