The lighthouse on the island goes way back! I won't bore you with another history lesson, but this is not the only lighthouse ever built on the island. During the Civil War the troops had to abandon the island, so instead of leaving the lighthouse for enemy use, they destroyed it. After the war it was rebuilt. It is an impressive structure with a great view of the island. In the pictures you can see one of the disappearing beaches and the canopy of oaks, underneath which lies the village shaded from the hot sun!
That is Jekyll Island in the distance. Huge cargo ships would come in through the channel each day. This is the view to the South.
This is to the East.
There is a whole city underneath those trees.
This is the view to the West. The area's main pier is just at the edge of the picture. The awesome
kiddy pool area and putt putt course are just below.
Not so great family picture, but know that we walked up the winding, old stairway like this. I held William's hand and steadied myself, while David toted Joseph on his back and Lily on his hip. They were very brave and it was quite an interesting climb!
