About
Completed in 1962, this triangular, modernist lighthouse on Sullivan's Island is the last major lighthouse built by the federal government. Its unconventional design — a stark contrast to traditional round lighthouses — features an aluminum-clad triangular tower rising 163 feet. Though not open to the public, it remains a beloved landmark visible from beaches and waterways throughout the harbor.
