Hours:
Monday - Sunday: 6:00a – 8:00p

Morris Island Light is a lighthouse on Morris Island near Folly Beach.The construction of the lighthouse began just after the War Between the States in 1872. It took four years to build and began operating in October 1876. The lighthouse is 161 feet tall. The tower leans slightly toward the NE and we believe it has slowly done so since the earthquake of 1886, along with the slow erosion of the very sand it sits on out in the ocean. The light stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the City of Folly Beach. The lighthouse was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
