Thank so much in advance for all your input! You all have made the planning of this trip so much easier!!

Tour and Plantation opinions needed please :)

When you write walk to Morrison Lighthouse, from where are you thinking?

Tour and Plantation opinions needed please :)

Which Gullah tour? There are several in town.

I prefer Middleton Place over Magnolia. There is much more to do and is much nicer over all.

The lighthouse tour Kevin told us about was a private boat ride out to the lighthouse at low tide, where you get to spend some time there and then a boat ride back.

As far as the plantations, I checked out Magnolia and think it is absolutely beautiful so we are going there for sure.

I believe Kevin was setting up reservations for us at the Middleton for dinner on Sat evening and it sais that a tour is included for dinner guests. Does this tour include the house or just the grounds? Thsnks all!

Unless you really want to take a short boat ride, I wouldn%26#39;t do the light house outing. It%26#39;s a very little island, and really isn%26#39;t worth getting out of the boat. You can drive to the eastern end of folly, get out and walk out to the end of the island, where the light house is located just off the coast. I was afraid you were trying to walk/wade/swim to the light house at low tide; there are rip tides, with someone drowning last year.

Diane, you are saying that we can walk from the end of Folly Beach out to the lighthouse at low tide? The catch for us was that there was lots of cool shells to collect and you can see the dolphins up close. Could we still do those things by walking from Folly Beach instead of taking the tour? If so that would save us about 120$

I assume you mean Alphonso Brown%26#39;s Gullah history tour, which is excellent!

You might want to make reservations, in advance, on the website, since the tour fills up. Mr. Brown won%26#39;t take your money until you have completed the tour.

Absolutely do not try to walk to Morris Lighthouse on Morris Island. You can easily view the lighthouse from the end of Folly Beach.
