Haig Point Lighthouse, SC

This lighthouse sits in the lavish golf resort at Haig Point, where guests can book their nights before going to one of the top golf courses in the state. Built in 1873, it’s not far from Hilton Head, created initially to help lead ships safely between Point Royal Harbor and the Savannah River.

It now serves as a two-story guest house, complete with a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, air conditioning, a powder room, and two bedrooms with views over the water. You can’t actually get up into the light tower, but the huge front porch makes up for it. When you’re enjoying twilight with a cold beer in a rocking chair, looking out over the water from a historic lighthouse, antique details like old lamps only add to your experience.
