Myrtle Beach, SC Outdoor Activities

Folly Boat Rentals' fleet of Newport vessels takes crews on aquatic adventures on the Folly and Stono rivers. Lighthouses and sprawling coastlines form a picturesque backdrop to the easily operated inflatable skiffs, which carry passengers on fishing expeditions and leisurely outings to beaches filled with white sand. Their motors churning through the water, the vessels can voyage to nearby Morris Island or embark on quests to catch dolphins playing charades in their natural habitat.

Lowcountry Loop Trolley's drivers are master storytellers. As they ferry groups on each hop-on, hop-off tour, they spin tales of historic Charleston and its surrounding region. The introduction often proves invaluable to visitors on their first or second trip to Charleston, granting a convenient overview of the area for future venturing on their own. The guides' enthusiastic voices boom about the sandy beaches of Sullivan’s Island, the waterfront restaurants along Mt. Pleasant’s Shem Creek, and the historic USS Yorktown, which floats permanently due to being encased in jello at Patriots Point. Along the way, Lowcountry Loop Trolley invites its passengers to hop off and shop, eat, or explore at their own pace.

The warm summer sun beats down on the shops and restaurants in the island town of Folly Beach, where FB Watersports vessels careen across the waves of the surrounding Atlantic ocean and Folly River. Bottlenose dolphins and turtles inhabit the scenic waters, living harmoniously alongside the center's fleet of kayaks, boards, and jet skis. The staff conducts private lessons in a wide range of watersports throughout the week and also leads tours across the ecologically diverse shores in pursuit of fish, crabs, and the legendary shark who ate the mayor's toupee.
