Folly Beach is right on the coast with temperate year-round weather. The Beach is a city on Folly Island, just south of Charleston. Easily see the Folly Beach Pier from the porch and balconies which stretches more than 1,000 feet into the ocean. Center Street is lined with surf and souvenir shops. Folly Beach County Park has picnic areas and a pelican rookery. As well as beaches and wildlife-rich habitats, Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve has views of Morris Island Lighthouse, completed in 1876. 

​

Turtle Watch Beach House provides ample beach and activity accessories. (5) beach chairs, (2) umbrellas, (6) Beach towels, an array of beach buckets, pales, shovels for building sandcastles, beach paddle ball, (4) frisbees, and a tub of baby water toys including an inflatable baby pool!

The private beach access walkway is key to a beachfront home so take a walk out on your own private boardwalk to put your toes in the sand, go for a swim or look for shells (there are thousands). Let Melanie know if you would like to arrange to rent a golf cart or bikes so they'll be ready for your upon arrival.
