Great beach! Perfect for a family trip to the ocean. Great sunrises, beautiful landscape, not overly crowded, great sand, etc!

Absolutely the best place on the island for us it so peaceful and no one is a stranger here. The condo is in fiddlers cove a very nice area.

The beach itself was fantastic and only a short walk up a wooden walkway. When you get to the thick sand, theres a canvas runner so pulling a cart is a breeze! Did not give 5 stars because the parking area is very small and if you dont get one of those spots, its a pretty good walk.

By far, one of my favorite and most uncrowded beaches on the island. Lots of space and beautiful water . Parking is also a breeze . If youre avoiding the tourist traps, this is the place to go

Nice, clean, and beautiful beach with lifeguards on duty. We went around 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM on a Tueaday so it wasnt crowded at all. Took advantage of our resorts shuttle. Parking is $1 per hour and there are only enough spots for about 20-25 vehicles. We went back on a Friday around 11:00 AM and it was crowded. People made sure to space out though. Left early due to the biting bugs, but enjoyed our 2 visits to this beach.

Beautiful beach ! In this off season parking was pretty easy. Small clean facilities. High tide takes up most of the beach. Very enjoyable place.

Very nice beach with beautiful sea oats. Many people on the beach each day, but plenty of room to social distance.

This was a chilling beach stop that we visited around lunch time today. The weather was great and the temperatures was a comfortable 72 degrees. There was more people than we expected especially since it was a Monday...but overall it was a very relaxing time.

Stopped by for a blip of time just to check out the beach.It was pretty nice. Actually have a mat over the sand to walk fairly far out to the beach area. Umbrellas on beach you can sit under for shade.Nice place.

Wonderful facility, showers, restrooms, short walk from the parking lot and we took a nice walk on the beach. Now to find some awesome fresh seafood. Might appear gloomy in the pic, its hurricane Deltas side effects.

Wonderful beach, very peaceful and family-friendly. A bit more congested than I wouldve liked; although, I did visit during the Labor Day weekend. I guess thats to be expected.

Parking fills quickly (theres not a lot). But the beach is clean, and the mats really help you get out there (not a short walk). Easily accessible.

It is a nice relaxing beach. No masks social distancing instead. Outdoors in the sun no crowds. Just an awesome day to get away from all the stuff pollution we have been living through recently.A good time was had by all I saw.

Review №19

The beach was great! Parking was nice as its only $1/hr for the spots that are only a few minutes walking from the beach. Nice place for the kids to play as the surf is almost non existent and the the hunt for shells and sand dollars was easy. Definitely will come again.

This beach is one of the nicest on the island. Only a 4 minute walk from our condo. Will definitely visit again.

Hilton head staff do a wonderful job keeping all their beaches in great condition. Excellent life guard service second to none. Go early parking is always in demand after 11 am.

Beautiful beach, not overcrowded! It was so clean and we were able to find a place to set up for the kids to enjoy no matter the time of day! I suggest bringing a red flashlight if you are coming at night to look for turtles

My first time at this section of beach The parking was very convenient, along with the blue mat leading up to the beach. It was a bit crowded for a Tuesday morning, but the rain thinned the crowd. The beach was very clean. I will return again.

Review №38

Folly Field Beach Park is a great semi-private beach access that actually has the updated credit card parking spots, unlike other beach access areas on the Island (like Islanders Beach Park which still requires coins).The restrooms are clean and spacious and the rinse off area is large enough for our family of 5 plus one to two other people. The beach is beautiful and the access is well-maintained with quality wood (limiting the risk of splinters if barefoot) and with hard blue rubber walkway leading all the way to the beach, helpful for anyone dragging a cooler, stroller or beach buggy.The views are spectacular and the water was still warm, even in early November! We come hear at least once every time we visit Hilton Head, which we do 6-8 times/year.There are many different beaches in Hilton Head that are beautiful so this is definitely one of many, but it wont disappoint.

It was a truly amazing beach, You will have to pay for a toll $1 unleas you go around the rolls. Parking at Folly Field Beach is $1 per hour. Make sure to watch out for the Jelly Fish because there are a lot in the area. Also on Hilton Head there are a lot of shops to visit as well.

This was the only beach access available close to our resort. The parking was atrocious but fortunately the resort offered a shuttle service.The beach was super crowded. The water was murky, the sand felt more like mud than sand and the waves were nonexistant.

This public beach was pristine and not crowded. The parking lot was small - maybe 12-16 spots. When we visited the parking meter was out of order. So our visit was free. There are restrooms and a shower on the boardwalk between the parking area and the dunes.

Clean and easy access. During COVID the public parking is designated to island residents, so plan to park in the paid parking spaces or walk to the beach (as of May 16-19, 2020).

While there isnt much parking, if you get lucky and snag a spot, youll be happy about the short walk to the beach. Clean. Seems very safe. I do wish theyd put in a parking system that allowed us to pay/add time using our phones. (For all areas of the island with paid parking.)

I loved Folly Field Beach Park. It was easy to park and pay...It was inexpensive to park there. Its one dollar per hour to park. Its a short distance from the parking lot to the actual beach. There are restrooms available which is very convenient!!! What I loved the most is that it was not crowded! I will be back!
