Question: Where in Georgia can you find the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the southeastern coast?

Answer: Tybee Island. Although the Tybee Island Lighthouse has gone through several iterations, the 145-foot tower has continued to be a guide for voyagers since General James Ogelthorpe commissioned its construction in 1732. To this day, the Tybee Island lighthouse’s original beacon shines brightly, beckoning visitors to marvel at her beauty.
