Have you ever wondered where this famous Folly Beach Icon came from? The story of the Folly Beach or Folly Boat dates back to the massive Hurricane Hugo in 1989, which slammed into South Carolina as a Category 4 storm. The storm surge pushed the boat to its final resting place on Folly Road, close to the bridge, where it has sat ever since.
The owners of the small craft never came forward, and shortly after, residents and visitors began using the boat to display messages and art.
