Dogs this time of year, drinking on the beach, and Folly Gras may soon be joined by digging holes, floating “island” docks, and music louder than a toilet flushing. And for a host of reasons, it appears. City Councilmember Teresa Marshall is spearheading an effort to curtail the digging of big holes along the beach. Two reasons: turned ankles and turtles. It seems that it has become a popular activity along the beach to dig holes big enough to sit in, sometimes entire families. Is it to create a windbreak, or get down to cooler sand? No one knows. “It’s fun to dig big … holes?” guesses Marshall, who also heads up the Folly Beach Green Team and volunteers for the Folly Beach Turtle Watch.
