St. Simons Lighthouse: An Active Aid to Navigation in Coastal Georgia

Описание: Walking in St. Simons Island in Georgia, we pass by the iconic lighthouse, that is still operating, guiding ships safely into St. Simons Sound. The lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation, maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and stands as one of only five surviving light towers in Georgia-a beloved symbol of the island’s maritime heritage. Visitors can climb the 129 cast-iron steps to the top for panoramic views of the Golden Isles, including Jekyll Island and Brunswick. The adjacent Keeper’s Dwelling, once home to lighthouse keepers and their families until automation in the 1950s, now houses the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum. In front of the lighthouse, you can walk down to the rocky shoreline, filled with Johnson Rocks, a seawall of large boulders installed in 1964 to combat significant erosion from tides, currents, and storms.
