Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island Historic Tour from Savannah

About this activity

Savannah's coastal areas are known for having the largest lighthouse in Georgia, as well as the state's smallest lighthouse. Cockspur Island is home to the Cockspur Island Lighthouse and Fort Pulaski, one of Savannah's historic battlements.

Since the mid-1700s, newly arrived African American communities established dwellings in these coastal areas, and in 1827, Cockspur Island was chosen as the site for the new battlement. As Savannah's growing port required more fortifications, ground was broken near the mouth of the river to add a more substantial defense. Since that day, Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island have been a resolute part of Savannah's and the nation's history.

Come immerse yourself in this experience! We will take you on a journey through maritime, military, and Savannah history, leaving you with plenty of time to wander and explore the fort and surrounding area after the tour is over. You will not be disappointed.
