Morris Island Lighthouse


This is the Morris Island Lighthouse. A rich history and avid supporters of it's preservation surround this beautiful structure.

For more information about the lighthouse visit http://www.savethelight.org/

This is also a great place for a day hike, picnic, camping or a WEDDING! Many couples have wed in this picturesque location - my sister recently had a beautiful ceremony amongst the driftwood with the view of the lighthouse as the backdrop. It was a magical day!

To visit the lighthouse travel down Center Street to Ashley Avenue and go east (left) about 8-10 miles until the road ends at the entrance to the park. Leave you car and follow the road to the beach. Depending on the tide, you will be able to walk right up to the lighthouse OR check out the view from across the water. Enjoy!

Sunset on Folly


This is the view from a private island off the inner coastal waterways. We were shuttled here by boat and had a great weekend of camping, hiking, cooking, sunbathing and camp fires. The sunset over the water at about 7:45pm and the stars quickly followed. The quiet night air offered a glimpse into a simpler life among the century oak trees, swaying palmetto frawns and the smell of the sea. It was truly a vacation in paradise.
