04 Tybee Island Light Station and Museum
One of the last surviving Colonial-era lighthouses Rests on this barrier island. Situated at the Savannah River’s entrance, the original 1732 lighthouse was victim to a hurricane. Two others followed. One was destroyed by soil erosion. The other was burned during the Civil War by Confederate forces. Today, the 1871 lighthouse and outer buildings sit majestically on five-acres. Climb 178 stairs for panoramic area views. Explore the keeper’s house. Visit the Fort Screven museum, a military outpost from the Spanish American War.
