Folly Beach Fishing Pier Update

 

We hit Folly Beach on Friday of the long Memorial Day weekend. It was our son Joseph’s birthday and he came down from New York City to spend his special day with us. 

I also wanted to see what was going on with the landmark fishing pier that opened in 1995. What’s going on is that it’s coming down. 

Charleston County Parks and Recreation, which oversees the pier, announced last year that the structure would have to come down. But the good news is it will be replaced by a better pier with concrete pilings and other improvements and amenities. 

The current pier's wooden pilings are not in good shape. They've been infilitrated by destructive little critters called shipworms or marine borers. 

Beach Visits in Review!

I didn't get to the Charleston area beaches too often this summer, 3-4 times maybe. But whenever I go, I always take my camera. You just never know what you may see there!  And often there are neat, unusual and/or interesting things and people to photograph.

This presentation features Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach.

Using Kizoa, a fun and easy (and free) program for creating slideshows and videos, I produced this three minute presentation.  Click below to view. If that's not playing properly, click here. Enjoy!
