Historic Coast Guard Station

The  Historic U.S. Coast Guard Station is just a quick ride from the St. Simons Light house and admission is included in the price of admission to the lighthouse tour and museum.  The station built in the Roosevelt era js now a museum highlighting life in the Coast Guard in the early 1940's.  There are several galleries with hands on exhibits featuring information about Georgia's beaches, marshes, and forests. 




A ladder on the second floor led to this room on the top floor with a doorway to the the outside peak.

 View from the top of the coast guard station.  Many years ago the station was closer to the ocean, in the latter years, the coast guard boats had to move to another location because of the addition of so much beach over time
