Bringing Back the Beach: Folly Beach County Park Grand Reopening
Event Details
Folly Beach County Park officially reopens its gates for visitors Wednesday, July 3. The park will open for normal operations at 9 a.m., and a public grand opening ceremony will take place that morning at 10 a.m.
Folly Beach County Park (FBCP) has been closed for public access since August 2011, when the park, owned by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC), suffered heavy erosion from Hurricane Irene.
The storm rendered certain facilities inaccessible, forcing closure of the property and eliminating public access and parking for over 400 cars on the west end of Folly Island. The park had served as a public beach access area for thousands of area residents since its opening in 1982.
Admission to the park is $8 per vehicle or free for CCPRC Gold Pass holders.
