Tideline Tours has been operating on Folly Beach since 2009, long before ecotourism became a trend.
We are educators, naturalists, and lifelong water lovers who believe the best way to understand the Lowcountry is to experience it hands on.
We use the marsh and waterways as a living classroom. Every trip is shaped by tides, weather, wildlife behavior, and the people on board. That means no two experiences are ever the same — and that’s exactly how nature intended it.

Looking for other things to do during your time on Folly Beach? There is heaps to do in our little beach town! Here are some things we suggest:
- Rent a bike and explore the island (please be courteous of cars and stay to the side of the road – our roads are quite narrow!)
- Walk the beach and look for sharks teeth. We’re not giving up our secret spot but can confirm they are out there.
- Walk the path to the old Coast Guard station at the end of E. Ashley Ave.
- Grab a fishing pole and license and try your luck fishing off the pier.
- If fishing isn’t your thing eating ice cream while walking the pier is also a good choice.
- Head to the County Park on the West side and watch the sunset over the marsh. (Almost as good as a sunset tour on our boat!)
- Eat! There is so much good food here, both on Folly and throughout Charleston.
- Visit one of our plantations. We like McLeod for a different take on the traditional plantation experience.
- Stroll through downtown Charleston and take in the architecture, alleyways, and gardens.Mostly importantly slow down and relax. Welcome to Folly!
