The St. Simons Island Light is a lighthouse completed in 1872 and one of the most dramatic events to happen there occurred in 1880 when assistant keeper John Stephens killed lightkeeper Frederick Osborne in a pistol dual.
More recently The Leisure Seekers (2017) starring Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren shot for a couple of days at the St. Simons Island Pier Village.
