2008 Regional Event Exclusive. Built to replace a wood frame beacon, a new iron Sapelo Front Range beacon built in 1877 was used as an observation tower by the United States Coast Guard in World War II. Over time, the channels would shift and change. The cast iron Front Range Light was built in several sections so that it could be dismantled and erected on another site to compensate for those changes and guide mariners safely through Doboy Sound to Darien. Interestingly, it was never moved and still sits 600? east of the 1820 Sapelo tower. In 1998, the state of Georgia repainted the beacon at the time of the restoration of the brick Sapelo Light.
