Morris Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Morris Island is a hidden beach near Folly Beach, South Carolina. I love it. no tourist, the dolphins swim right next to the shore line at low tide. This beach has a lot of old sun bleached trees called the bone yard perfect for hanging a hammock. If you are ever in Folly, SC just ask the locals how to get to Morris Island Light House, as you walk up over the dudes it all becomes clear why it's a well kept secret.

The Morris Island lighthouse stands alone approximately 300 yards off shore from the Island of Folly Beach. #roadtrip
