Best Things To Do in Charleston

Folly Beach Pier

The 1,049-foot fishing pier at the heart of Folly Beach — rebuilt in 2023 with the original's sightline restored. Walk-on access is free; fishing requires a county permit. Open daily, lit at night, with a tackle shop and bathrooms at the pier head. The pier runs east into the Atlantic, which makes it one of Charleston's most photographed sunset spots — the light at golden hour is genuinely better behind you than ahead.
