Center Street is, as the name suggests, the center of Folly Beach! Here, beachgoers can enjoy access to the main part of town and the Folly Beach Pier. Folly Beach Pier is outfitted with everything you need to have a relaxing, fun time at the beach, and is completely ADA accessible! Changing rooms, showers, trash and recycling bins, and picnic tables are on the first floor, while restrooms, outdoor seating, a gift shop with hand-scooped icecream, and Pier 101, a chill waterfront pub with casual seafood meals and outdoor seating, are on the second floor. Folly Beach Pier is open from 8AM-9PM and has a parking lot with paid hourly parking.
Located on former Bohicket tribal land, Folly Beach is a 6-mile stretch of sandy beach that locals call the “Edge of America.” Once used as a strategic base by the Federal Army for the battle to take Fort Sumter, Folly Beach is now a beautiful, laidback, surfer-friendly beach that is home to 2,400 residents and countless numbers of visitors each year! With ample parking lots and street parking (keep all four tires off the road!), fantastic restaurants, bars, and beach supply shops, Folly has everything you need to have a great time at the beach. Folly Beach is open from 8AM-10PM. Do not to litter, walk on the sand dunes, bring plastic/glass containers, or consume alcohol on the beach. Dogs must be leashed at all times and are not allowed on the beach from 10am-6pm May 1 through September 30. Look out for common wildlife such as brown pelicans, laughing gulls (given the chance they will steal your food!), fish crows, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, sand dollars, loggerhead sea turtles, Atlantic dolphins, and much more!
