Savannah Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island Historic Tour 2 hr

Explore Savannah’s coastal history on a guided visit to Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island, where a historic battlement stands near the mouth of the river. The island is also home to Cockspur Island Lighthouse, one of Georgia’s coastal landmarks.

Your guide brings the area’s maritime, military, and Savannah history to life, from the island’s early communities to the fort’s construction, begun in 1827 as the growing port called for stronger defenses. After the guided portion, take time to wander through the fort and explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Admission and a professional guide are included; meals, drinks, and gratuities are not.

Meet your guide in the parking lot outside the fort, near the entrance. Choose this Savannah Fort Pulaski and Cockspur Island Historic Tour for a closer look at the stories and scenery that shaped the coast.
