Stono River Inlet & South Folly Beach Sandbars

The last post showing an aerial view of the Sullivan's Island and Breach Inlet sandbars at low tide was very popular with the ocean athlete and boating communities. It gives a snapshot of what the sandbars looked like in April 2023 and it will be interesting to see how they change over time, as sandbars often do around here. Someone requested I provide the same for the sandbars around the Stono River Inlet and south Folly Beach. Great idea! So here you go...


The following aerial drone video and photos were captured on May 30, 2023 at dead low tide.


The first clip in this video below is the view from the east tip of Kiawah Island looking east towards south Folly Beach. It begins by flying east over Bird Key. The second clip is the view from the ocean side of south Folly Beach looking inland, and moving from east to west.





Above: This is the view looking south from south Folly Beach. The upper right hand corner is the eastern tip of Kiawah Island.

The following 6 photos are a 180 degree view from west to east.
