Perched at the southern point of Hilton Head Island overlooking the Harbour Town Yacht Basin sits the iconic red-and-white striped Harbour Town Lighthouse. The stunning 360-degree views encompass water and marsh, stretching for miles in all directions. This landmark has been welcoming guests to Hilton Head Island for over fifty years.
In 2001 an informative, educational and fun experience was created with the addition of the Lighthouse Legends Tour. A climb through the lighthouse gives you the inside story about the creation of the lighthouse and a peek at Hilton Head Island’s rich history. The lighthouse is also home to a unique gift shop featuring one of the largest collections of lighthouse information in America.
Because of the dedicated support of the local community, a portion of all admission fees is donated annually to local charities. The lighthouse has contributed more than $150,000 since beginning its local charitable donations and continues to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s.
Be sure to put this landmark on your itinerary. It’s well worth the trip (and the climb). Go to https://www.seapines.com/experiences/harbour-town/lighthouse to purchase tickets in advance.
