This beautiful lighthouse is in Ft Pulaski State Park. What a beauty!
Hereâs a bright idea: visit a lighthouse.
National Lighthouse Day is as good a day as any to shine a light on these beacons! The National Park Service cares for nearly 50 historic lighthouses and light stations that have helped guide ships, and inspired visitors, for generations.
These candles on the water have witnessed wars, weathered hurricanes, and helped countless mariners avoid making the oceanâs version of âyou canât park there.â
Today, theyâre more than navigational aids. Theyâre places to discover remarkable engineering, fascinating history, and spectacular coastal views.
