What's your favorite beach... mine is Folly Beach over in South Carolina?

I love making the trip over to Charleston for this special place, it's just 15 minutes outside of town. I've done this trip for over 30 years.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, I hope a beach is involved. Check out these amazing posts from Folly Beach. You'll understand why I love it so much.

The beach is so great, it's been recognized as one of the top in the country.

"We’re so excited to share that Folly Beach was named #1 of the Top 20 Best East Coast Beaches by Yahoo! PureWow. Located just south of Charleston, SC, Folly is a beautiful weekend getaway or vacation destination for couples, families, and friends. Mentioned in the article, Folly is home to our infamous 1,000-foot-long pier. While the Folly Pier is currently under reconstruction, the apron of the pier is now open for visitors with access to the gift shop and the observation deck. Stop by this summer and check out the new updates to our beloved landmark."

Some people have worried that Folly Beach is private, but guess what, it's not!

"Yes it is! Folly Beach welcomes visitors of all over, we only ask that you take care of our beach while you’re here by picking up your trash and disposing of it properly. This helps us keep the beaches safe and clean for us to enjoy, along with the wildlife who live here! Whether you spend your time here strolling up and down the beach or visiting our various food destinations, visiting Folly Beach is an amazing experience for all."

Happy weekend!
