The morning wind off the Atlantic arrives like an invitation: cool, salt-sweet, and threaded with the calls of distant gulls. You step from a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter onto Folly Island, where the street grid loosens into sand and the town’s low-slung surf shops open like familiar faces. The tour begins with a short walk along a graffiti-marked lane — the island’s unofficial gallery — and ends with the pier stretching into the ocean like a promise. Between those points are slices of Lowcountry life: tacos with lime on a picnic bench, a pier-side ice cream cone, and a quiet dune where the Morris Island Lighthouse keeps watch across the inlet.
