More info: Known to Charleston locals as "the Edge of America", Folly Beach is home to numerous surf spots, the most popular being the Washout, 10th Street and the Folly Beach Pier. Despite its usually calm conditions, Folly Beach has become one of the more popular surf spots along the East Coast.
The Folly Beach Fishing Pier extends more than 1,049 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, and is 22 feet above sea level. It is known as one of the best places to go saltwater fishing in Charleston. At the end of the pier, a 7,500-square-foot diamond-shaped platform is home to regular Moonlight Mixers.
