"A Walk Through Time"
The original lighthouse, constructed in 1785, was a wooden structure that was built to support the then-important port of Sandy Point. However, the historical tower was destroyed in the 1984 hurricane, and after a few years, a 70-foot (21-meter) replica was built near the site of the old tower to conserve the island's historical character. It is now part of the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge, much of which is inaccessible by road unless you have a four-wheel drive vehicle. Nature history tours are offered, wherein visitors can climb up the tower and also explore the surrounding area.
