Fondly nicknamed the “Edge of America” by the locals, Folly Beach, South Carolina, is a beautiful place to spend a day, a week, a month, or a lifetime.

This charming island town is home to approximately 2,400 residents and a multitude of recreation opportunities. Among other things, you can kayak, paddleboard, surf, fish, and sail in Folly Beach. Once densely packed with undergrowth and trees, the coastline of Folly Island is from which it derives its name. The island was first mentioned in an official document in 1696 in a land grant to William Rivers from King William III. Rivers eventually sold the island as it had little commercial use to him and for many years ownership was passed from one non-resident to another. Though the owners were absent, the island was not uninhabited, and in fact was home to many of the Bohicket tribe until Europeans from Charleston forced them out. The rest of the island’s history consists of stories of shipwrecks, pirates, and soldiers, among other things. In addition to this intriguing history, this vibrant beachside community has remarkable real estate. Homes for sale in Folly Beach are generally in short supply and high demand.
