  Folly Beach, SC

  After a Fourth of July celebration weekend left tons of trash (literally) all over Folly Beach, local officials are considering a ban on alcohol. In a coming council meeting set for July 28th, Mayor Beckmann of Folly will bring up the possibility of a ban on alcohol.

  Trash left on the beach and in the streets around Folly is an obvious eyesore as well has a hazard for the environment. All it would take is an unusually high tide or a common downpour and all that trash could end up in our waterways and ocean. Not good.

  Does that mean a ban on alcohol on Folly is the answer? What would a ban on alcohol mean for the people visiting Folly? How will that affect the businesses on Folly Beach?

  Folly Beach is the only beach in the area that allows alcohol on the beach. Shannon, a bartender at Blu, located at the Holiday Inn on Folly, said “I doubt it will change people’s mind about coming to the beach. If people want to drink they can walk right up to the bar at Blu and grab a beer or shot real quick. Business would immediately increase for Blu if the ban was passed.”

  Long story short, the ban would change the atmosphere on Folly Beach… What are your thoughts? Post your comments below and lets see what people really think.

  I recently came across your post and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I wonder how this pertains to merchant loans? I don't know what to say except that it caught my interest and you've provided informative points. I will visit this blog often. Thank you.
