The lighthouse is located at the northeast end of the island. Parking for the lighthouse is very limited and you have to walk about 1/4 mile to reach the beach near the lighthouse. The lighthouse is located several hundred yards fro the waters edge in the water. The drift wood on the beach is very unusual. There are no restrooms... More

This lighthouse is on the end of the island with a short walk from parking the car. The lighthouse is on an island which is about 300 feet from the beach. Close enough for great photo ops. This a beach with protected area for wildlife i.e. some of the beach is closed. Nice place to visit. No bathrooms.

This was a long walk and the dirtiest beach we've ever seen. You cannot go in the light house and there really is not much to see. Don't go here, let them tear it down!

Park and walk over to the lighthouse. If it is windy, watch the wind surfers out in the channel. Let the kids climb around the big rocks out there. Interesting trails go back into the maritime forest. A hidden jewel of Charleston and Folly Beach. Spend some time out there. Relax.

It is located in a nature area so the walk was nice. On a great beach area. Shells to pick. Oh yeah, it's free to look.

We took a boat tour with Gresh Meggett to Morris Island and toured the island with views of the Morris Island lighthouse. Gresh pointed out oyster beds along the way and dolphins who joined us! On the island, we had the island to ourselves were we discovered aquatic life and a shipwrecked sailboat. Took great pictures of the lighthouse.

The walk to see this lighthouse is actually on the northeast end of Folly Beach. After crossing the bridge to Folly Beach, turn left on to East Ashley Avenue until it dead ends. We parked along the side of the road, and took the trail that starts beyond the gate. It is paved for about 1/2 mile and ends on... More

We parked about 1/2 mile away, and walked out to the beach to go see the lighthouse. Not all that impressive. The lighthouse is not not lit, and it's a ways off shore. You can see it, but you can't get close to it. Kind of a bummer.

The structure and setting are amazing. Getting there is the challenge, and thus the "average" rating. For out-of-town visitors, the trek might be a bit much. Even so, get there if you can!
