St. Simons Lighthouse
Share
One of only five surviving light towers in Georgia, the restored lighthouse on St Simons Island, with its original 3rd order Fresnel lens shining 18 miles out to sea, is an operational aid to navigational through St. Unlike many other operational lighthouses, visitors are welcome to climb the 129 steps leading to the top of the St. Although no keeper awaits you since the lighthouse is now fully automated, the vast panorama of the Golden Isles does.
