FOLLY BEACH
With a wealth of natural beauty and a
relaxed island lifestyle perched tantalizingly along miles of
pounding surf, there's no wonder Folly Beach is is loved by surfers
and families alike. Only fifteen minutes from
historic Charleston, SC,
the six-mile sliver of barrier island got its name from 17th century
settlers who used an old English term meaning "an area of dense
foliage". Today, Folly Beach is still lined with rows of live oaks
that spread a cooling shade under towering, twisting trunks that
date back hundreds of years. Once a prized fishing and hunting
ground for regional Indian tribes, Folly Beach later became a major
encampment during the Civil War, and was a staging area for major
battles fought at nearby Secessionville and Morris Island.
Bootleggers found haven here during the Depression, and famed
composer George Gershwin lived on the island while crafting Porgy
and Bess. Yet the most enduring Folly Beach legacy has been its
peaceful atmosphere, and the most appropriate description of the
area today is "laid-back."
The easy pace of this
island town is punctuated with soft beach breezes and genuine
Southern hospitality - a place where folks are welcome to come and
enjoy a myriad of pleasures. Folly Beach features two seaside county
parks and a grand public fishing pier with great views and an
abundant sampling of fish from beyond the surf line. The island
interior is blessed with a lush maritime forest, and on the mainland
side there are numerous tidal creeks amid vast expanses of marsh
wetlands, as well as the pristine Folly River, where shrimp, clams
and oysters are harvested.
Surfing and sea kayaking are
major recreations along the windswept beach, and thrilling regional
competitions are held each year in both sports. Anglers, paddlers
and power boaters love the easy access to the ocean and surrounding
estuaries from slips, docks and boat landings throughout the Folly
Beach area, and one of the most entertaining island attractions is
the annual Folly Float Frenzy, in which local residents parade a
hilarious assortment of makeshift craft along the Folly River.
The flavor of Folly extends to a
wide variety of restaurants and cafes, with a number of open-air
venues that fill the cozy downtown village with aromas of spicy tapas, fresh shellfish, and gourmet coffees. Sandals and floral
shirts are all you need to fit in with a relaxed night-life crowd
that enjoys live music or simply soaks in the sea air and stars.
Folly Beach real estate opportunities are affordable and
plentiful around Folly Beach, with a mixture of new and traditional
construction, as well as individual lots on the front beach and
interior.
