Beautiful lighthouse. Love the history behind it. The lady they had working at the top of the lighthouse was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy telling the history and facts with you. This is a must stop in St. Augustine, even if you choose not to climb to the top!

Nothing special

There is nothing special about this lighthouse. After purchasing a ticket you can go up in the lighthouse and then visit the keepers house.
