About the Fort Screven
Fort Screven, located on Meddin Drive in Tybee Island, Georgia, is a historic tourist attraction that includes the Tybee Island Lighthouse. The 1773 lighthouse is in need of immediate preservation, with essential repairs required for the windows, roof, and masonry. To address this issue, ICC Commonwealth will begin a 7-month restoration project in November, but they need financial support from the public. Visitors can purchase tickets on site upon arrival, with prices ranging from $10-$12 for adults, seniors, and children. The lighthouse is closed on select holidays and may close without warning due to adverse weather conditions. Drones are not allowed to fly over the site during certain hours. Additionally, backpacks are not permitted on the grounds, and proper attire is required. The admission ticket includes access to the complete Light Station and the Tybee Museum in Battery Garland. Parking is available for 2 hours in the lighthouse lot. The Tybee Island Black History Trail, supported by the Tybee MLK Human Rights Organization, Georgia Southern University, and the Tybee Island Historical Society, documents the arrival of enslaved Africans and their journey to Tybee. Visitors can also support the preservation of the lighthouse by purchasing a special car tag. Your contribution will help ensure the continued maintenance and education provided by the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum.

Reviews of Fort Screven
"Great place to come look and read about the history of the Lighthouse operators And about their families and living quarters Educational and it's History Gift shop on premises too Hats ,Shirts , so much to look and choose from Kind Friendly Courteous Staff"
"Normally I take a lot of pictures but I was so interested in all the historical stuff I forgot, sorry! You spend most of your time in the old forts interior which is covered with historical stuff. I didn't realize that Tybee Island was such a huge tourist attraction back in the day. It was cover with big resorts all along the beaches"
"Visited the lighthouse next to the fort, it's a little pricey but my wife loves lighthouses, so actually it was a great deal."
"A neat old fort on coast of Tybee Island North Beach. You can view from the street. From River's End Campground it is approximately three blocks to the fort, lighthouse, and beach, restaurant, bathroom. This area is about a 30 min drive to Savannah."
"What a beautiful area. The fort, the lighthouse, the beach.. Everything amazing. We've visited twice this year so far from Florida. Tybee makes such a great get-away weekend to forget about all your cares. Ample parking including handicap . The beautiful beaches are so relaxing and I love how Tybee beach added wood swings every 100 yards on their beaches for you to relax and watch the sun rise."
