Shine On
Save the Light is hosting a small ceremony at the beach overlooking the Morris Island lighthouse on Saturday October 1st at 7 pm, the 140th anniversary of the first lighting October 1, 1876. Thanks to generous SCE&G engineers, lighthouse windows and the lantern room will be lit by remote control at 7:30 pm for four hours. The gates will be closed, but there may be a golf cart shuttle. Plan to end your day at the East end at sunset to see our lighthouse sending light into the night sky like she did between 1876 and 1962. See www.savethelight.org for more information on the lighting, and on efforts to save the lighthouse.
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.
