The lighthouse was built in 1854 and survived the bombardment of Fort Pulaski. It was damaged in 1881 from a storm which destroyed the keeper's residence. It kept shining until 1909. In 2000, the upper portions of the lighthouse were restored. The Cockspur Island Lighthouse is one of the five surviving historic lighthouses in Georgia. In 2008, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation put the list house on the list of 10 Places in Peril.
