Campground at James Island County Park
Campground with a store, bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, grills & activity center in a 643-acre natural park.
Tours, parks, gardens, plantations, water — what to do with a free afternoon.
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.
