And what better time to spend a weekend at Tybee than mid-April. There are a few reasons to spend mid-April at Tybee. Money from your tax refund should be in. The area will be alive with spring colors and The Tybee Wine Festival is being held April 17, 2010.

The wine festival will feature over 100 wines and tapas from local restaurants. This year the festival has two new features. Craft beers and a silent auction. The wine festival is held to help renovate Tybee Post Theater.

The wine festival is held on the grounds of Tybee's lighthouse. This is an added bonus. Tybee's lighthouse is well preserved, as well as, the historical support buildings of the lighthouse.

Southeast Coastal Lighthouses

Lighthouses. When you hear the word or see a lighthouse the romantic just comes out. Lighthouses led sailors home from the sea. Thus bringing men back to their wives and families. Once they saw those lighthouses they knew they were near land and then sailor's would then begin looking for the mark on the lighthouse that showed they were home.

Sailors knew they were getting near home by the color marks on lighthouses. They are called "DayMarks". Each lighthouse has a different color and design to distinguish them from other lighthouses in the area, and to note exactly which area, city that lighthouse was.

Some lighthouses could be determined by their unique shapes as well. Most people prefer the tall conical shaped lighthouses, but other designs, like pyramid shape, octagonal, square, short cylindrical shape and even some lights have been placed on top of light keeper's homes. Lighthouses can be made of brick, concrete and or metal. Most lighthouses are painted, while a few older lighthouses, that are no longer in use are natural brick.

The tallest U.S. masontry lighthouse in the southeast, and in the U.S at this time is at Cape Hattaras, NC. It measures at 207.49 feet from the bottom of the foundation (about 10 feet underground) to the top of the spire.

The shortest southeastern lighthouse is 25ft tall? It is on Sapelo Island, GA and is inactive. It was built in 1877 and is a square pyramidal cast iron skeletal tower with enclosed square lantern room. It is painted white. The newest lighthouse is in Charleston, SC and boasts an elevator and air conditioning.

The oldest ligthouse built on the southeast coast has also not been determined. This is because lighthouses have been built and rebuilt. It will take time to determine teh original and then current oldest.

One of the most unique lighthouses in the southeast is at Tybee Island, GA. It isn't that the lighthouse itself is a unique structure, but that the lighthouse is one of the most soundly structured lighthouses today and the historical support buildings surrounding the lighthouse are still intact.

A few of the strangest looking lighthouses along the Atlantic coast are at Sand Key Florida, Smith point light in Virginia and the lightship in Portsmouth, Virginia.
