Morris Island Lighthouse Named #1 spot in Charleston to Watch the Sunrise by The Post and Courier’s Photographers
If being named the number one beach on the East Coast wasn’t enough, Folly Beach’s very own Morris Island Lighthouse has been named the number one spot in Charleston to watch the sunrise by The Post and Courier’s photographers!
The lighthouse was first lit in 1876 and shined bright across the water until 1962. It was then named as a Historic Place by the National Register in 1982. While it is beautiful on its own, during a sunrise or sunset, it can not be beat. Visitors and locals should make it a priority to take a walk to see this landmark in all its glory. You will not regret it!
Thank you Charleston Scene for this wonderful recognition!
Peaceful & Beautiful
This was my families first time at the ocean and I will never forget the look of joy on my youngest daughter’s face the moment the waves first came up on her feet. The beach was not over crowded, was clean, and was great for relaxing, swimming, and collecting seashells. There is a long pier for fishing off of and it is a beautiful sight at night. The town atmosphere was a nice mix between relaxing and having a good time and can work for the over 21 crowd as well as for families with small kids. There are plenty of great food stops and cute shops.
Fantastic & Peaceful
This beach is very relaxing and a great place to chill out. We saw several dolphins and enjoyed walking on the fishing pier. I would consider staying on the beach here next time we are in Charleston instead of downtown.
Cute, Calm & Peaceful
First time visitor to Folly Beach–loved it! Quiet and peaceful with many trees left on island.
