The Garden Folly Guest House
Our architect said, âthis is NOT a garage, itâs a Garden Folly!â Our Guest House has a birdâs eye view of the rose covered pecan tree and a vista of the marsh and the Wappoo Creek. When we rebuilt our 1930's garage we saved all the beaded siding and pine floor. My husband enjoyed incorporating many design elements and creative ideas. It was quickly becoming the Taj Garage. We decided it was just the kind of property we enjoy when we travel, so, Voila! we decided to share it with you!

intro
This tiny barrier island outside of Charleston, South Carolina, has a spirited history: In the 1940s and â50s, live musicians drew big crowds to concerts on its pier. But in recent decades, Folly Beach has embraced a more mellow spirit. Days here revolve around the water, whether that means kayaking along the river or bobbing on a longboard waiting for a wave, with funky surf shops and crab shacks catering to the beach lifestyle. The famous pier is being rebuilt, but when it reopens in 2023, it will stretch more than 1,000 feet into the Atlantic, with benches for fishing and quiet contemplation.
Top things to do in Folly Beach
Folly Beach County Park
The waves at this beach on the western end of Folly are some of the gentlest on the island, making it ideal for boogie boarding and swimming (donât worry about bringing gear; there are numerous rentals by the shore). Keep an eye out for loggerhead turtles and brown pelicans, both of which have protected breeding habitats in the park. If you want to surf, head up to the beach around Folly Pier for lessons, or to an area known as the Washout for expert-level swells.
Folly River Park
This park is your entry to Follyâs more tranquil side, the river that runs north of the island. Rent a kayak or paddleboard â or sign up for a guided tour â from an outfitter on nearby Center Street, and then spend the day slowly making your way around the marshes, accompanied only by seabirds (or, if youâre lucky, dolphins). You can also swallow up an entire day fishing or crabbing from the dock. Either way, stick around to watch the sunset over the river.
Morris Island Lighthouse
This lighthouse has suffered damage from a cyclone and an earthquake since it was built in 1876, but it still stands tall â albeit with a slight lean â a few hundred feet off Folly Beachâs shore. You can view the lighthouse, preserved as a historical landmark, by boat (tours often pass it as part of fishing trips) or by driving to the northern end of East Ashley Avenue and taking the 15-minute walk to the beach.
