About Folly Beach
Folly Beach (about 2,000 residents) calls itself "the Edge of America" — Charleston County's laid-back surf town on a barrier island at the end of Folly Road. The rebuilt Folly Beach Pier, Center Street's bars and taco joints, and the surf break at the Washout define daily life. The Morris Island Lighthouse sits just offshore at the island's north end.
