Booking Notes
PARKING:
Drop Off/ 5 min Parking: We do have two designated drop-off and pick-up spots located directly in front of our shop. They can be used for 5 minutes at a time or less, so please be prepared to drop off your group before finding long term parking. When driving onto Folly our building will be on the right-hand side of the road just past the Public Boat Ramp. Please be prepared to drop off and pick up your guest in front of the building within the gravel lot after the Charleston SUP Safaris sign directly in front of our building, however, do not park in front of Folly's Best Rentals building.
Boat Ramp Location/2 HR PARKING:
When coming onto Folly Beach, the entrance to the Public Boat landing will be your immediate right-hand turn after the final Folly River bridge. If available, the best spaces to park in are immediately to your left after turning into the boat ramp. Please do not park in the trailer spaces (the long ones) at the public boat launch as they give tickets to non trailered vehicles, see pic of sign post. If the landing is full, parking is free on Folly, but there are some Rules you must know. All four tires must be off the street and going with the flow of traffic. You can park anywhere, unless there is a sign specifically stating that you cannot.
When coming on a weekend or major holiday, parking will most certainly be limited. If at all possible walk, ride a bike, or Rideshare.
