One of the Best Towns in the South
The population of Folly Beach is just under 3,000, and it continues to be one of the safest places to live in the United States. The pace is slow, and the weather is amazing most of the year.
Another allure of Folly Beach is the nearby high-ranking schools (James Island Charter and Murray-LaSaine Montessori), which makes it an ideal place for young families to put down roots and enjoy a beach lifestyle.
With no shortage of sandy beaches, waterways, or natural habitat marshes to experience, there is never a dull moment - unless you want there to be. That is why Folly Beach is considered one of the best towns in the South.
