Morris Island Lighthouse in Folly Beach — view 2
Morris Island Lighthouse is a historic beacon off the coast of Folly Beach, South Carolina, built in 1876 to guide ships through the perilous waters of the entrance to Charleston Harbour. Standing at 161 feet, its striking black and white striped exterior can be spotted from miles away, although the lighthouse now sits about a half-mile from the shoreline due to erosion. Visiting the lighthouse involves a scenic boat ride or a lengthy walk along the beach, with the best views often found from the surrounding Morris Island and Folly Beach areas. The lighthouse is particularly photogenic at sunrise or sunset, though be mindful of the shifting tides when planning your visit.
