5 Reasons to Live on Folly Beach
Folly Beach is an island town beyond James Island, SC with six miles of beaches that is packed with things to do see and eat while maintaining its laid-back quaint charm.
1. Vibe
We have to start off with the vibe because when locals think of Folly Beach, we think casual, easy-going, and famously funky. With its bohemian beach feel the Folly Boat is an icon of the community and unofficial billboard entering the beach town where locals paint inspiring messages and declarations of love.
2. Food
Folly Beach s not a beach town who slacks in their cuisine. From coffee to cocktails and french toast to sushi you will find everything you're craving. A few favorites are Taco Boy and also Rita's for the amazing tuna nachos.
3. Surfing
The best area to serve for experienced surfers on Folly Beach is an area known as "The Washout." Where there once stood homes, Hurricane Hugo cleared out this area and it's been undeveloped since. A great local surfing event held every August by Surfers Healing draws in locals and families from afar to celebrate a joyous day for children on the autism spectrum.
4. Community
You can find fun celebration in the streets year round with events like Folly Beach's Taste of Folly, Follypalooza, and the Polar Bear Plunge. All Folly events draw in lots participation, create fun in the sun, and as well as help support local companies.
5. Livability
With a close proximity to James Island and downtown Charleston, we have seen a shift from a high-volume to a family-oriented and long-term resident community. People see the value in the location and in comparison to nearby beach communities, Folly Beach's median sales price is significantly lower.
