About

At 25 feet wide, 23 feet above sea level and stretching 1,045 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, the Folly Beach Fishing Pier is the second longest on the East Coast. In addition to fishing, you’ll find a host of recreational options–camping, picnicking, golf, bicycling, paddleboarding, kayaking, boating–with details and contact info at www.follybeach.com/activities.php. Nature lover alert: Loggerhead Sea Turtles nest on Folly Island from May to September. The same female may climb ashore 2-5 times a season, digging a nest for 100 eggs overnight. The Folly Beach Turtle Watch Program (www.follyturtles.com) helps protect the eggs, guides walks and gives tips on how you can help keep these magnificent and endangered reptiles safe.
