Lighthouse · Charleston, South Carolina
Morris Island Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1876 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Erosion has left it standing in the water off the north end of Folly Beach, where it is best seen from Lighthouse Inlet.
