Folly's surf break, named for the stretch of road a hurricane took out.

The Washout

Beaches · Greater Charleston Free 4.4

The Washout is the surf spot on the north end of Folly, named for the section of East Ashley Avenue a hurricane removed. It picks up more swell than the rest of the island and holds a crowd whenever anything is running. Parking is roadside and limited, so it goes quickly on a good morning.
