Shark Teeth & Shoreline Fun
Family Fun: Shark Teeth Hunt & Fishing at Folly Beach
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind family adventure at Folly Beach! This 5-hour private trip is all about making memories with your kids as you search for shark teeth treasures and do a bit of light fishing. It's the perfect mix of beach exploration, nature discovery, and coastal relaxation. No need to be a pro angler or experienced beachcomber – this trip is designed for families looking to have a blast together on the water.
Trip Overview
Picture this: You and your crew are wading in the warm Folly Beach waters, eyes peeled for the glint of a shark tooth hiding in the sand. It's like a real-life treasure hunt! While we'll toss out a few lines for some casual fishing, the real star of the show is our shark teeth scavenger hunt. It's amazing how quickly kids (and let's be honest, adults too) get hooked on the thrill of finding these prehistoric souvenirs. We've got all the gear and licenses covered, so you can focus on the fun. Just bring your snacks, drinks, a towel, and don't forget the sunscreen – we'll take care of the rest!
Beach Combing & Casting
Our shark teeth hunt isn't your average stroll on the beach. We'll teach you and the kiddos how to spot these hidden gems among the shells and pebbles. It's like detective work, but way more fun and sandy! While we're out there, we'll also do some light fishing. Nothing too serious – just enough to give everyone a taste of what it's like to cast a line in the Atlantic. Who knows? You might even reel in dinner! The best part? Our guides know all the local hotspots, so you're in for a day filled with discoveries and maybe even a fish tale or two to take home.
Top Catches This Season
While our main focus is on shark teeth hunting, Folly Beach waters are teeming with some exciting fish species. Here's what you might encounter during our light fishing sessions:
Species You'll Want to Hook
King Mackerel: These speedsters are a blast to catch, even for beginners. Known for their lightning-fast runs, King Mackerel can get your heart racing in seconds. They're most active in the warmer months and put up a fight that'll have everyone cheering. Plus, they're delicious if you're looking to grill up your catch.
Greater Amberjack: Nicknamed "reef donkeys" for their stubborn fighting style, Amberjacks are the heavyweight champs of our local waters. They're like underwater bulldogs – all muscle and attitude. While we might not target these specifically on our family trips, if you hook one, you're in for a workout!
Great Barracuda: With their impressive teeth and menacing look, Barracuda are the rockstars of the reef. They're quick, they're mean, and they're a ton of fun to catch. Kids love the excitement of reeling in these toothy predators, and they make for some great photos (just watch those chompers!).
Gag Grouper: These bottom-dwellers are the strong, silent type of the fish world. Gag Grouper like to hang out near structures and put up a stubborn fight when hooked. They're a prized catch for their tasty white meat, and spotting one is always a highlight of any trip.
Bluefish: Don't let their size fool you – Bluefish are feisty little fighters that punch above their weight class. They travel in schools, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. Kids love catching these guys because they're not too big to handle but still give a good tussle.

Bluefish
Bluefish are aggressive fighters that'll give you a real run for your money. These streamlined predators typically range from 3-10 pounds, though big ones can hit 20+ pounds. You'll find them cruising the surf, inlets, and nearshore waters from spring through fall. They're known for their fierce feeding frenzies - when blues are blitzing bait, the water looks like it's boiling. Anglers love targeting blues for their hard-fighting spirit and the exciting topwater action. They'll hit just about any lure or bait that mimics their prey. Try metal spoons, swimming plugs, or live bait like mullet or menhaden. A word of caution - watch those teeth when unhooking one! For the best shot at big blues, fish the outgoing tide around dawn or dusk. Look for birds working bait schools or check structure like jetties and bridge pilings. Here's a local tip: when blues are feeding on the surface, cast just past the school and retrieve quickly through it. Hold on tight!
