Folly Beach SC : Charleston SC Homes for Sale - Page 5

Folly Beach is Charleston’s original beach town located just 30 minutes from downtown Charleston. Fondly referred to as “The Edge of America” this seaside village, which lies at the end of the only road from the mainland, has its own laid-back pace and rich culture. Only 15 minutes from downtown Charleston, Folly Beach is an easy to reach beach community accentuated by six incredible miles of sand beaches, perfect for swimming, surfing, or sunning. For anglers, the Folly Pier is a great experience and you can even rent your tackle for the day.

While maintaining its eclectic charm, Folly Beach residents can dine on gourmet food, fresh local seafood, a good steak, or just tacos and a margarita at Taco Boy. For those interested in a little entertainment after dinner, they can choose music from every persuasion, including the much loved beach music indigenous to the area

If historical landmarks interest you then you must travel to the far northeast end of the island and take in the Morris Island Lighthouse which stands about 300 yard off shore. Built in 1876, The Morris Island Lighthouse passed through the hands of several private owners from 1965 to 1999, when an organization called Save the Light purchased it for $75,000. Save the Light has raised over $700,000 to preserve the Morris Island Lighthouse. What began as a grass-roots campaign is now a three-hundred-member organization with money and support coming from people as far away as Italy. Save the Light plans to work with the Army Corps of Engineers to preserve the lighthouse.
