The Cockspur Island Lighthouse, situated at the mouth of the Savannah River, is another historic landmark worth visiting. Built in 1855, this small but charming lighthouse stands on an islet that can be reached by boat or a short hike at low tide. The lighthouse has survived hurricanes and the Civil War and offers a picturesque glimpse into the maritime history of the region. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding waters and the nearby Fort Pulaski National Monument from the lighthouse’s vantage point.
