Like most of out there, I have been to a few beaches over the years. As a pet (dog) owner, the ability to bring our furry friends with us for a little time at the water is critical to my decision. I have lived all over South Carolina from Myrtle Beach to Charleston to Hilton Head and the dog rules vary, but for the most part, they are dog friendly. Some require a permit,some have hours set aside for dogs, leash rules and such.
It is an advantage to have dog friendly beaches in S.C. as there are really no waves, so when you launch a tennis ball out to sea, your faithful pet will retrieve it and come back with no problem of large, submerging waves.
FollyField only charges for parking, but as of yet, I have never paid. I have been going off season and there is no parking staff. There are no rules for your dog, other than common sense. The people I have encountered all are friendly and typically vacationers from the many beach side hotels. Which keeps Folly Field more of a beach and less of a dog park.
The water is shallow and I went in for a dip as late in the year as a month ago, but I like cold refreshing and water. to go swimming in.
So, Folly is not necessarily good for surfers, except wind surfers, however an excellent beach for every other in water or on sand activity.
Side Note: I was in NYC a few months back, there are no dog friendly beaches, other than the boardwalk, how unfair is that? -

We always go to this beach when visiting the in-laws in South Carolina. This is a wonderful spot. I was told it can get crowded during high season or on weekends but we were here during spring break and it wasn't bad.
There are 2 parking lots with pay parking - bring quarters. There is a bathroom and a beach shower. We bring some chairs and a picnic lunch and the kids are set for the day. -

Great Beach with Parking and a place to use the restroom and rinse off. The boardwalk is a short distance from parking to beach. Very clean!
