Activity Overview
Folly Beach is one of the most beautiful and popular beachfronts which you can visit in South Carolina. It is the perfect place to lay out some towels and let your children build sand castles as you laze in the summer sun. If the combination of sea, sand and sun feels just a little bit lazy to you then you can walk out on the Beach's Pier, take a tour or do some shopping on nearby Center Street.
Things to Do
