Tour Tips

SGI Tour of Homes

St. George Lighthouse Association

Tips for the SGI Tour of Homes

1. The Tour of Homes is a fundraiser for the Cape St. George Lighthouse, the Keeper’s House Museum, and Lighthouse Park. Please visit the lighthouse, the museum, and the gift shop while you are here.
2. This is a beach community, so most homes are on pilings and therefore have stairs. Residential elevators are not available during the Tour, so please plan accordingly.
3. Some driveways may require a lengthy walk. Please be careful.
4. Food or open beverages are not allowed in the homes or on the Plantation shuttles.
5. Please do not touch personal property in the homes. Respect spaces that are ribboned off to prevent access.
6. Restrooms are available in the bath house behind the lighthouse and in the Plantation clubhouse. Restrooms in the homes are not available for the use of Tour participants.
7. No inside photography, please.
8. There are a number or restaurants on the island and in the neighboring communities that serve lunch.
9. You will find a comment cards at each of the houses so please take a moment to share your thoughts about the Tour with us.  We strive to make the Tour better each year!
10. No animals allowed.
11. Children over 12 only (must be accompanied by an adult).

Transportation to and within the St. George Plantation gated community:

1. Entrance to the Plantation is by shuttle only, unless you are a Plantation property-owner or renter. Shuttles will board in the parking lot to the west of the lighthouse.
2. Plantation residents taking the Tour are requested to park at the clubhouse and ride a shuttle to avoid congestion at the homes.
3. Shuttles leave for the Plantation approximately every 30 minutes. The last shuttle into the Plantation is at 3 p.m.
4. Inside the Plantation, shuttles drop off and pick up at each home and at the clubhouse in a continuous loop.
5. Shuttles returning to the lighthouse depart from all stops and are designated with a window sign.
6. Shuttle drivers and home docents are volunteers and are happy to answer questions or assist guests in any way.
