Folly Beach passes alcohol ban
Folly Beach’s booze ban got final approval in a 4-3 vote tonight.
Drinking on the beach has been illegal since shortly after a July 4 melee that safety officials called a riot and blamed on drinking.
After the July 4 incident, council outlawed alcohol on the beach through Labor Day, then extended the ban through the end of the year.
The ban became permanent tonight.
