Have fun out there and STAY SAFE! πποΈπββοΈπβοΈπ
π Know Before You Go
A day at the beach is one of life's simple pleasures, and understanding ocean conditions can help make your time on the water safer and more enjoyable.
Rip currents can form quickly and are stronger than many people realize. If you ever find yourself caught in one, remember:
βοΈ Stay calm
βοΈ Don't swim directly against the current
βοΈ Swim parallel to shore until you're out of the current
βοΈ Float or tread water if needed
βοΈ Wave and call for help if you need assistance
When visiting Folly Beach, pay attention to posted warning flags and signage. Beachgoers are also encouraged to stay clear of the designated no-swim zones near the pier, which are marked by red warning flags for your safety.
A special thank you to Respect the Break for their continued efforts to educate beachgoers about rip currents, ocean safety, and responsible recreation along our coastline. Their work helps visitors and locals alike enjoy the water more safely. π
