- Morris Island Lighthouse - Folly Beach, SC. Enjoy a look at this old and historic lighthouse that has withstood time, countless storms, beach erosion, mother nature in general, and even an earthquake.
Built 1876. Automated in 1938 when the beach had eroded and the ocean reached the lighthouse. Decommissioned and abandoned in 1962 when the new Charleston Lighthouse was built on Sullivan's Island in the background.
Your eyes do not deceive you... the Morris Island Light does lean to the northeast and is believed to have slowly done so due to the Charleston earthquake of 1886 when it was considerably damaged with two large cracks in the walls and the first order Fresnel lens becoming displaced and a piece falling out and breaking. Further erosion around the lighthouse and the ever-changing currents have also played a role in the tower leaning. In 2008, a cofferdam was built to help stabilize the base of the lighthouse and sandbar it sits on. By 2010 the cofferdam was completed to strengthen the foundation for the light. By 2018 it was noted that sea-level rise will again threaten the lighthouse as time goes on.
In this video, I get to show you all the lighthouse from Folly Beach. Afterwards, I send my DJI drone in to give you an upclose view of the lighthouse out in the Atlantic Ocean.

I feel a spiritual connection to lighthouses! Thanks for sharing....a beautiful video.
It's just so beautiful thanks so much for doing this video
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is by far the best video ever I’ve seen you put out. The drone footage is phenomenal. When life starts getting in my way all I have to do is pull up this video. Soooo relaxing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you very much for the kind words. That means a lot. I'm really glad you enjoyed!
This is a beautifully done video. Looks like a very special place. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Adventure on! All the best to you.
Happy St. Patrick's Day Wallie and Kayla!!!
Kayla is out of the picture. She broke up with Wallie a few months ago.
I wondered what was up, he seemed bummed out the last couple videos, but I never heard anything.
@@TheCarsGarageI know his personal life is none of our business but maybe he would talk more about his personal life on his next live!!!!
Love to watch the ocean waves
Wow, that was such a great shot of the lighthouse and beach! I was just there for a school project. It's beautiful to see regardless, but it's very calming in person.
That was great Wallie, awesome 👌👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Wallie
Thank you!
Very nice
Thank you!
That was an awesome video! You even managed to get the sun coming through the top of the lighthouse partway through. Thank you for sharing that. It was nice and relaxing to lay under some covers and hear those waves.
A pretty cool lighthouse.
This is beautiful I enjoyed the trip down memory lane used to go there every Thanks Giving loved to walk to that beach I sure do miss it thanks so much great drone footage loved the calming music too very relaxing.
This video was amazing, so beautiful and the music was perfect for it. Very relaxing, great job!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed.
Absolutely amazing video and the sounds and sights wow. Reminds me as a kid in Maryland and seeing these Lighthouses and going to the beach. Thanks for sharing 👍👊
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed.
Awesome video wish I was there
Amazing video. Very relaxing. Here is to hoping everything is awesome with you, Wallie!
I love lighthouses just something about them I'd like to see one in person to go inside one I've seen one at ocean city but never went in one i love the sound of the ocean puts me right to sleep and wow what a sunset..
Oh my God I literally know where you are I live in South Carolina I used to go to the beach all the time😅
Very beautiful, relaxing video.
Absolutely beautiful video. Thank you! ❤
Wow 👌 happy holidays
That’s cool! I live near Charleston but I haven’t been to see this lighthouse.
It's worth seeing even though it's several hundred yards out in the ocean. The walk from E. Ashley Street is a pretty long walk but worth it.
@@WallieB26 it was really beautiful
Great video man
Glad you enjoyed!
Wonderful video thank you, I am a huge fan of lighthouses we visit the OBX every year and every time I see the OBX lighthouses it’s wonderful. Great job 👏
Great video very relaxing.thank you.
Cool 🥰
Very Cool Wallie More drone footage please 😊
Maybe some of the 🚂 train's also
I'm glad you enjoyed! It's funny you mention doing drone footage on trains. That's on my to-do list later this Spring. I just have to get comfortable trying to fly it near the tracks because of the trees. Anyway, that is something I plan on soon!
I did some drone footage at Horseshoe Curve a few years back on some trains. In case you didn't see the video, here it is!

Thanks fir doing these videos, love, love, love them. Dude, you got some mad drone skills. I would be terrified I’d loose my drone in the ocean. Great job! 😅
I'm not that great with the drone compared to others but thank you for the kind words! I do try my best. Believe me, I was terrified of losing my drone out to the ocean.
Happy St. Patrick’s! I saw an article on how Dick’s House of Sport could be coming to Ross park mall! Didn’t know if you had known or not.
My child and Grandchild have settled in S.C. come back to PA. . is not fun they look forward going home. 👍😊
👍👍👍 I like lighthouses as well. Beautiful drone footage, Wallie!
WallieB26, WOW, what a beautiful lighthouse! I was hoping you'd go to the window and at the top. Really enjoyed your awesome video and I'm getting so sleepy hearing the waves.
This video is just simply amazing, thank you for making it
Thanks for another great video, loved the drone shots and the sunset.
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. If you ever decide to come out to Rhode Island. We have alot amazing lighthouses here as well in Newport area. Loved the drone shot and it was very peaceful video
So very beautiful and very inspiring thank you for sharing wallie did you move south Carolina
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. No, I did not move. Just visited the lighthouse I've been wanting to see for probably 25 years now.
I’m from Charleston and I fish at that location all the time. Caught a giant Red drum off cut whiting
cool video, it probably wouldn't be safe to go into the light house although it sure would be neat to see the inside, i kind of think mother nature will do it's thing and the light house will be gone sooner or later take care Wallie
Will there be a video on savannah ga?
Hello
Hi. Happy Friday.

A total rotten dirty shame that people even have to graffiti rock
