From the reviews

We went to Folly beach for a day trip on a Friday. The entrance fee is per car $15 M-F and $25 on the weekends during the summer. We arrived after 11 am and there were only a couple of parking spots left. So make sure to come in early. They have plenty of changing rooms and a rinse off station.

Love this beach. $35 and you can rent 2 beach chairs and a huge beach umbrella for the day. AND they come and bring the chairs out to you AND drill the hole and set up the umbrella for you. Way less congested even on memorial day than isle of palms was before it was really even in season. Beautiful beach.

★★★★★ — Melissa, May 2023

Gorgeous beach. Nice and clean. I didn't park at the $15 lot with the restrooms, playground, and restaurant. I just went down the same street and found a small free public lot between 2 beachfront houses. It had a boardwalk over the dunes to the beach.

★★★★★ — H., Jul 2025

Beautiful beach, very clean, several entries points to get to the sand from the parking area, nice facilities for restrooms with covered areas to sit for picnic or to look out perched over the beach. Just keep an eye out in warmer weather for any jelly fish.

Getting married at Folly Beach County Park

Folly Beach County Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
