Whether youโre a casual Instagrammer or a content creator, youโll find no shortage of dreamy backdrops to share with friends and followers. Here are the top 5 Instagrammable moments you wonโt want to miss on Folly Beach.
1. Sunrise at the Folly Beach Pier
Start your morning with one of the most iconic shots on the island: the sun rising over the Atlantic with the Folly Beach Pier stretching out into the horizon. Arrive early to beat the crowds and capture the first golden light of the day. Itโs worth the wake-up call.
2. The Morris Island Lighthouse
Just a short walk from the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve, the historic Morris Island Lighthouse makes for a striking photo op. Whether framed against a pastel sky at dusk or the waves rolling in at high tide, this landmark is a must for your Folly photo collection.
3. Follyโs Murals & Local Art
Hidden gems are part of Follyโs charm, and the colorful street art and murals scattered around Center Street add a playful pop to your feed. Stroll through town, and youโll find unique backdrops perfectly capturing Follyโs creative spirit.
4. Beach Sunsets with Driftwood
While sunrises on Folly are magical, the sunsets are equally breathtaking. Head toward the quieter stretches of beach, where scattered driftwood and seashells create natural props for those dreamy golden-hour shots.
5. Cocktails with a View
No Folly trip is complete without sipping something delicious with an oceanfront view. Snap a photo of your cocktail against the backdrop of crashing waves, bonus points if itโs a local favorite like a frosty painkiller or rum punch.
