Visitors to Sapelo Island can see virtually every facet of a
barrier island’s natural community, from the forested uplands, to the vast
salt marsh, and the complex beach and dunes systems. The mainland Visitor Center
brings to life both the natural and cultural history of Sapelo, while guided
island tours highlight the African-American community of Hog Hammock, University
of Georgia Marine Institute, Reynolds Mansion and newly restored lighthouse.
Built in 1820, the lighthouse was in service until 1905 when it was deactivated.
Following its 1998 restoration, it once again became a working aid in
navigation. The historic Reynolds Mansion may be used for group conferences and
retreats, with all meals included. A campground is available for groups of
15-25.
