Folly Beach

"There was something about the way the wind whipped through the palmettos. There was something about the songs on the jukebox. There was something about the way the sand blew across the shore, about the sound of the screen door slamming shut as children raced in and out the house, laughing on their way to and from the sea. There was something about the way you felt as you walked along the beach and gazed at the tide with a pretty girl by your side." As anyone who has ever crossed over the Folly River onto Center Street can tell you, Folly Beach is a place like no other. For Charleston writer Bill Bryan, Folly is another world that has drawn him back time and again. Join Bill and take a wistful look back at Folly during a special time in its history, when the dark days of war were over and everyone just wanted to have fun. Through these charming, historical vignettes, Bryan offers a casual history of a timeless Lowcountry destination.
