A Visit to the Morris Lighthouse and Beyond

My wife and I had a really enjoyable time out with Capt. Josh. He was quite informative and gave us little factoids about the oysters, tides, wildlife, and the barrier islands. We got to walk around Morris Island and take in the views of Morris Lighthouse and enjoy the peace and tranquility of wandering around the beach. We were fortunate enough to see two types of dolphins as well. We would definitely do this trip again. Good
