We're baaaaaack!! The Easter Meg has hidden lots of large shark teeth on Folly Beach and needs your help to find them! This event page is the only place to register for the event and obtain your pass to get in on the fun. We only have 300 tickets available!
Children ages 4-17 are invited to participate in the 7th Annual Easter Meg Hunt held on Folly Beach at the Folly Beach County Park (at the end of W Ashley Ave). Plots of sand are divided for three age groups: 4-6 y.o., 7-11 y.o., and 12-17 y.o. There are plenty of fossils and prizes hidden in each plot of sand, and they hide pretty well, so you'll need to keep a sharp eye out for anything unusual!
Insured General Admission tickets are available for purchase and cover $25 of the ticket price if clients have to cancel up to 48 hours prior to the event. Cancellation requests must be made in writing to [email protected] or by calling 843-534-9099. By purchasing the insured tickets, the purchaser agrees to the terms listed above. Similarly, by purchasing tickets without insurance, the purchaser acknowledges they will not recieve a refund if they have to cancel for any reason.

HUNT DETAILS:
- Event branded collection aprons are included with each ticket!

- Small plastic sifters, less than 10 inches in diameter
- Handheld plastic trowels
- Garden gloves recommended

Things to keep in mind:
- This is not a race! Since the items are hidden, it's going to take careful searching (like a true paleontologist!) to uncover as many fossils as you can.
- Not everything you find may be a fossil! We're hiding tokens, eggs, and all sorts of mystery items in the sand. If it looks interesting, keep it and we'll identify it for you at the end.
- There's only one road on and off Folly Beach. Please allow extra travel time (30 minutes minimum) in case there is a large amount of people visiting the beach that day.
- Volunteers will be wearing bright orange shirts. They're there to help! If you need anything at all, get in touch with one of them and we'll make sure your need is addressed.
