Folly Beach County Park
Folly Beach County Park is located on the west end of Folly Island, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Folly River. The park offers beach access with over 4,000 feet of ocean frontage. Be advised the beach can get crowded, and parking can fill up during the peak summer months. For beach goers looking for a less crowded area to enjoy the beach, just cross over the boardwalk and continue south until the crowds begin to dissipate. During the summer months, the park has lifeguards on duty, chair and umbrella rentals, and a snack bar. The park also has picnic tables, grills, and public restrooms. The park does not charge an entrance fee, but rather a parking fee per vehicle. Dogs are allowed on the beach during certain hours of the day, but must always be leashed.
