Gasperilla Island Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Boca Grande, Florida, United States.
The white lighthouse rises 105 feet from steel piles near the entrance of Charlotte Harbor, featuring an octagonal lantern at its peak.
Built in 1885 and relocated to Gasparilla Island in 1927, the rear range light began operations in 1932 to guide ships through Boca Grande Pass.
The Barrier Island Parks Society maintains educational exhibits about maritime navigation and the development of Florida's coastal infrastructure.
The lighthouse museum welcomes visitors who can learn about naval history through informational displays and examine navigation equipment from different periods.
The structure formerly contained a third-and-a-half-order Fresnel lens that produced alternating white light and red flashes every twenty seconds.
