Whether you're interested in the Civil War, lighthouses, or wildlife, you'll find plenty to enjoy at Fort Pulaski National Monument on Cockspur Island at the mouth of the Savannah River. The Fort Pulaski Visitor Center presents a video about the Battle for Fort Pulaski, along with exhibits and artifacts.
Explore on your own or take a guided tour inside the fort to learn about its Civil War role and the remaining cannons and artillery. Take the Lighthouse Overlook Trail to get a great view of Cockspur Lighthouse on Tybee Island. There are other great hiking trails, too. All trails offer chances for bird watching. Bring a fishing line to cast from a bridge or the banks of the river.
