Folly Beach Paddle Board Tours

Water sports are a popular pastime in the waters around the town of Folly Beach, and several local companies offer an introduction to the comparatively new activity of stand-up paddleboarding.

You can choose between tours of the busier Folly River, in the rear of Folly Island, or a quieter, more-nature oriented paddle around the creeks and marshes a little further inland. Evening options include sunset paddleboard tours, and occasional later evening tours timed to coincide with the full moon.

Tours will usually be suitable for beginners, but contact your chosen guide company if you have any particular requirements.
