Folly is a way of life that’s simply and distinctly, only Folly. The funky, laidback, come-as-you-are vibe appeals to souls young and old; a beach town both popular with the college crowd, yet home to a tightly-knit, year-round community of residents.

Along the farther flung edges of the island, you’ll find many new builds, updated and equipped to withstand the elements. If your perfect idea of a beach home aligns more with the bungalow feel, there are streets nestled within the interior where the flora feels almost Swiss Family Robinson natured.

Surf the waves, visit the Morris Island lighthouse, fish off the pier, or explore the sea life. “Downtown” (we use that term lightly, here; imagine more of a Main Street than a centralized business-area) features an eclectic array of locally owned shops, restaurants and lots of live music. You’ll relish in the legendary sunset views. It’s high tides and good vibes here.
