Review & FAQ:
The locals called Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse “Charleston Light” and is one of the most modern lighthouses in the United States. The structure of the lighthouse is slim and triangular and features a two-toned, black on top, white on the bottom; color blocked design.
The 140-foot tower was built from 1960-1962, and only the offshore beacons in Texas are newer. Sullivan’s Lighthouse is a dream for travelers because it is airconditioned and has an elevator to the top observation deck, unlike the older lighthouses on the coast. The Lighthouse is cared for by the Coast Guard and National Park Service.
