HISTORIC SITES & MONUMENTS
AVENUE OF OAKS: Located on Frederica Rd. Anne Page King planted this famous "Avenue of Oaks" that highlights the entrance to the Sea Island Golf Club. (912) 265-0620.
BLOODY MARSH BATTLE SITE: Located Off Demere Rd. The battle fought here on July 7, 1742, when Spanish troops landed on the south end of St. Simons Island, proved to be the turning point in the Spanish conquest of Georgia. The marsh ran red with Spanish blood and the battle was a decisive British victory which ended forever the threat of Spanish invasion into this colony. (912) 638-3639.
GASCOIGNE BLUFF: Located on Gascoigne Bluff Rd. Overlooking the Frederica River, this area was a favorite Native American campground, and during Colonial days, the landing at the bluff became Georgia's first naval base and bears the name of the man, Gascoigne, who first surveyed the Georgia coast for England. Live oak timbers milled here in 1794 were used in building "Old Ironsides," the USS Constitution, in 1874, and timbers were also cut here for the Brooklyn Bridge. (912) 265-0620.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE: 101 Twelfth St. St. First constructed in 1807 by James Gould on Couper's Point, this towering, 104 foot lighthouse was reconstructed in 1872 on the same site to replace the original which was destroyed by retreating Confederate forces in 1862. A beautifully restored 1872 lighthouse keeper's home complements the lighthouse. (912) 638-4666.
