Run Into the Sunset (Folly Beach)

// August 18th, 2009 // Charleston Running

There’s hardly a better spot near Charleston to go for a great run and watch the day end then from the county park at the southernmost end of Folly Beach. The final mile of sand on the island is undeveloped, and rounds off into a spit that overlooks the Stono River, Kiawah Island, Bird Key, and the Atlantic Ocean. Run at low tide for plenty of hard-packed sand.

Folly Beach Directions:

Take the James Island Expressway until it dead ends into Folly Rd. Take a right and continue to Folly Beach. Take a right on Ashley Ave. and continue until the road dead ends into the park.

Folly Beach County Park: 843-588-2426 / 1100 West Ashley Ave., Folly Beach /www.ccprc.com/index.aspx?nid=61
