Although operational status is now false, the lighthouse was first lit in 1838. The tower is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Why it matters: When active, this light guided vessels into St. Andrew Sound and the Satilla River. It also warned mariners of a shoal extending to the south-southeasterly.
