Folly Beach is a beautiful area with welcoming people. The scenery is gorgeous, the beach is clean and plastic-free, and the dining options are varied to meet most tastes and budgets. Traffic in the summer months is horrendous, no joke. I would advise tourists to try visiting one of the MANY other beaches available throughout the lowcountry during these months when traffic to Folly is at a standstill... it's a great beach but I'm not sure that it's quite THAT good, haha!
I live in Folly Beach and while it might not be affordable to own a home here you can find a place to rent for a decent price. The beach is beautiful and locals enjoy the busy summer season as well as the slow winter season when all the locals emerge to really enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the island.
