Folly Field has a variety of vacation accommodations, but what makes it unique is the availability of large oceanfront resorts, perfect for families seeking a convenient beach location with plenty of activities offered on-site. Another aspect of Folly Field that keeps visitors coming back each year is the Folly, a beautiful salt marsh that is filled by high tide twice a day.

Port Royal is located on the northernmost part of Hilton Head Island and serves as one of the best values on the island, with villas and townhomes that are about one block from the ocean making for more affordable accommodations.
