Painting the Folly Beach boat

Have you ever spent time to paint the Folly boat only to find out that 20 minutes later someone has painted over it with their own creation? It can certainly be disappointing to see your labor and creativity disappear more quickly than the tide. Fortunately, there is a way to keep all of that creativity from going to waste while making sure your personal connection to the Folly boat is immortalized.

If you have painted the boat or plan to paint the boat in the near future, you can submit a picture to be considered for publication in an upcoming photographic book, the focus of which will be the many faces of the Folly boat.

If you would like your boat painting to appear in the Folly Boat Book, please send your high resolution pictures to: follyboatpix@live.com or call 743-6590. You will be contacted when the book is published if your photo is chosen.

Photo provided by Bubber Hutto: Should Folly Beach ban alcohol on the beach to combat trash?

Recently, a large group of visitors to Folly Beach left a present for residents after the Fourth of July holiday: a huge amount of trash. It is inevitable that many people will visit the beach and that more trash will be created as a result. However, many people left their trash on the beach itself which included coolers, beer cans, boxes and bottles with little regard for what would happen when they left. Fortunately, many concerned volunteers cleaned up the mess. However, it has the City government wondering whether or not alcohol should be banned on the beach in order to combat similar situations. Check out this survey to express your opinion on the matter.
