Folly Beach, SC Bans Bags, Foam, and Balloons from the Beach

Ban plastic bags, foam food service wares, and balloons from the beach to prevent marine litter and harm to wildlife.

Building on earlier victory in passage of a separate ordinance passed in September, 2016 that bans retail distribution of plastic bags as well as foam coolers and food service wares, this ordinance bans plastic bags, expanded foam food and drink containers, and balloons from the beach. Violators of the ordinance could face a $500 fine or up to 30 days in jail.
