The Tybee Island Lighthouse has been a beacon for mariners for over 270 years. Today, visitors can climb the 178 steps to the top for breathtaking 360-degree views of the island. The lighthouse offers special sunrise and sunset tours during the summer and a festive Christmas event in winter.

Apart from climbing the lighthouse, you can also explore the Light Keeper Cottages to get a glimpse into the lives of the lighthouse keepers. A short walk away, the Tybee Island Museum showcases over 400 years of history, from Native Americans and pirates to the Spanish-American War. This is a must-see for history buffs who want to learn about the island's history while enjoying a stunning view.
