The “Boneyard Beach”
The “Boneyard Beach“ area located on the far northeastern end of Folly Beach, South Carolina, is famous for its striking landscape of bleached, dead trees and weathered driftwood preserved right along the Atlantic coastline. [1, 2, 3]
Exploring Folly Beach’s Boneyard
-
- The Landscape: Decades of coastal erosion have claimed parts of the maritime forest, leaving behind sculptural, sun-bleached oak and pine trees rising directly out of the sand. [1, 2]
- The Location: You can find these trees by heading to the northernmost tip of the island, facing Morris Island and its historic lighthouse. [1]
- Spring Atmosphere: Visiting during the spring offers comfortable photography temperatures, clear coastal light, and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season.
If you are planning a photography trip to this area, would you like to know about the best times for low tide to expose the roots, parking options near the trail, or information on nearby Botany Bay which has a similar boneyard beach?
