Morris Island


Morris Island
Morris Island Light is a lighthouse that stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the town of Folly Beach. The lighthouse now stands several hundred feet offshore. When constructed in 1876 the light was approximately 1,200 from the water's edge. However, the jetties which protect the Charleston Harbor altered ocean currents, resulting in the erosion of Morris Island.
