Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve
Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve is located at the far east side of the island. This site played a significant role in the Civil War and was later used by the U.S. Coast Guard. It is the perfect spot to view the Morris Island Lighthouse, photograph or observe wildlife, or go for a stroll. The preserve is great for avid and amateur birdwatchers, with the County Park offering regularly scheduled bird walks.
Lighthouse Inlet also contains important marshland and maritime forests that house diverse plant and animal species. Some areas of the inlet are nesting sites for endangered loggerhead sea turtles as well as adorable shorebirds such as the threatened Wilson’s Plovers. No pets are allowed at Lighthouse Inlet.
