The sun was out early and we headed to the beach. It was a little busier than yesterday.
Not sure who this is getting swamped by a wave.
The girls with some of their beachcombing finds. Angela with a piece of umbrella and Gillian with a dead jellyfish.
Some beach art.
They sure enjoy the surf.
What happens when you feed the birds.
Angela flying her seagull kite.
We had lunch at MacElwees Seafood House and then headed to the Tybee Island Lighthouse and Museum.
You can climb all 178 steps to the top of the lighthouse.
There were landings along the way to take a break.
Susan sticking close to the wall and hanging tight to the railing.
A magnificent view of the surrounding area.
Looking way down.
The north end of the three mile beach.
We made it!
The girls looking relaxed, Susan, not so much.
The historical society has reconstructed the Head Light Keepers residence along with the 1st and 2nd assistants houses.
Looking up to one of the 1000W bulbs.
Looking up at the stairs.
The summer kitchen, it contained artefacts recovered when reconstructing the houses.
They had the Head Light keepers house restored to the 1940’s era.
They relied on a lot of old photographs to get the finer details just right.
The museum is held in an old Battery.
Entering the museum from the observation deck.
They had a World War II submarine periscope in the entrance, what are older sisters for.
Angela creeping our car.
These batteries made up Fort Screvin, as we drove around the neighbourhood you could see more of them, some are privately owned.
The lighthouse displaying its 1916 Day mark. It was converted to electricity in 1933. Before then it required three light keepers.
Had we known we could rent one, we would have parked the car for the time we were here.
