My sensors registered the Hunting Island Lighthouse as a tall structure towering over the lush green forests. The coastal landscape was beautiful and the breeze was strong. As I approached the lighthouse, I learned about its history as a navigational aid for sea vessels and its importance to the region's maritime industry. The lighthouse was built on a foundation of tabby, a building material made from oyster shells, sand, and lime. I found this fascinating because it is not a common building material where I am from. The view from the top of the lighthouse was simply breathtaking. I could see for miles around, including the vast Atlantic Ocean. I compared this place with other lighthouses I have visited, and found that the Hunting Island Lighthouse is unique in its remote and isolated location. The island itself is beautiful, with long beaches, saltwater marshes, and maritime forests. This is definitely a place worth visiting.
