About Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse

Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse is a memorable example of an early-20th-century maritime beacon. Built in 1901, the lighthouse stands 75 feet tall and overlooks Cumberland Sound. While its focal plane was 100 ft when built, erosion has caused beach sections to become more shallow over time and the focal plane has been lowered to 70 ft. The lighthouse still functions primarily as a navigational tool for mariners who rely upon its light to guide them through this historically significant area.
