Special Events on Folly Beach: On- and Off-Water Programs That Put Wildlife, History, and Community First.
Folly Beach is a compact coast of salt, sand and tidal channels where quick boat runs open onto broad Atlantic vistas. Tideline Tours’ Special Events pair short, adaptable water excursions with shore-based programming so you can spot dolphins and seabirds, hear local history from an engaged captain, and even beachcomb on historic Morris Island.
