The Georgia coast’s oldest and tallest lighthouse, this light station is still fully functional as well as housing a museum and an 1899 military battery across the street. Private sunrise and sunset tours are also available and guarantee some great photos.

The Cockspur Island Light is the smallest lighthouse in Georgia. It ceased operation as an active beacon in 1909. It has been relit since 2007 for historical rather than navigational purposes. The best way to get an up close view is by Kayak!

The lighthouse that stands on Cockspur Island was built in 1855 on an oyster bed foundation. This 46 foot tower has an eastern side that is shaped like the prow of a ship to help it withstand the battering it takes from the waters that surround it. During the Civil War when the Confederate forces fell to the Union the Cockspur Lighthouse stood directly in the line of fire in the 30 hours of battle. Amazingly, the lighthouse suffered no damage.

Unfortunately this is closed. But it is a beautiful site to see so I put it here because on your scenic drive into Tybee you can see this little lighthouse over the the left.
