Visit Bloody Point Lighthouse, Daufuskie Island, South Caralina
The Bloody Point Lighthouse looks nothing like a typical lighthouse. This lighthouse on Daufuskie Island was named for the Indian battles that took place there in the early 1700s. The light guided ships into the Savannah River Channel from 1883 to 1922. During its lifetime, the Bloody Point Light has had to be relocated inland several times due to erosion and the shoreline receding. In fact, a team of mules and oxen moved the lighthouse by dragging it over timbered logs to its present location to save it from erosion.
The lighthouse itself is now a museum and gift shop, and features one of the best preserved Batou Indian canoes.
