Paddle the Point
is hosted by the Charleston County Lifesaving Association to bring awareness to water safety in the Charleston area!
Paddlers compete on a short 5k course or a long 10k course starting at Folly Beach County Park.
Prone Paddling, SUP, and Surf-Ski Kayaking divisions are included, and competitors are broken down into 6 age group categories.

We can't wait to see you in the water!
