Protected by the National Park Service, this monument represents the remnants of the fort that played an integral part in the British forces’ defeat of the Spanish in 1742, confirming Georgia as a British territory.

Originally built in 1810 and later destroyed during the Civil War, the current Saint Simons Island Lighthouse was reconstructed in 1872 by order of the United States Government.

Walk the 124 steps to the top of the tower, witness the gorgeous view from the top, tour the beautiful Victorian-era lighthouse keeper's home, shop the museum, and experience living history tours of this national treasure when you visit St. Simons Island.
