Sapelo Island Range Front Light, Range front lighthouse in McIntosh County, United States.
The 25-foot iron tower features a square pyramidal skeletal design with white paint, standing near the southern end of Sapelo Island.
Built in 1877 to replace an earlier wooden beacon damaged during the Civil War, this lighthouse guided vessels through the Doboy Sound channel.
The structure represents the maritime navigation heritage of Georgia's coast and forms part of the National Register of Historic Places since 1997.
Located 600 feet east of the original brick tower, the lighthouse operates under the management of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
This cast iron structure holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving iron construction in the state of Georgia.
