Life at Folly Beach
The name “Folly" derives from an Old English term describing dense foliage. Due to more than 100 days of rain totaling an annual average of 48 inches coupled with those moderate temperatures, the island has a magnificent growing season. There are some 1,000 varieties of plants, shrubs, and trees here. Animal life abounds as well, as the island is an incubator for loggerhead turtle eggs and home to a variety of fish, shell-dwellers, dolphins, and other sea creatures living out in its waters. This lush environment adds to the appeal of Folly Beach real estate and enhances the allure of properties for sale in Folly Beach SC.
Locals like to call Folly Beach, the “Edge of America," because you wake up to the sunrise over the beach, and you can watch the sunset over the river in the evening. There is a slower pace here than on the mainland, allowing time to read a book while lounging in the sand. Residents and visitors alike can take a fishing charter, visit the surf shops, rent a bike, enjoy a day at the spa, and more. The local county park has a pelican rookery and plenty of picnic grounds. And Center Street is full of quaint, little shops and restaurants.
