Cape St. George Light
Cape St. George Light, Historic lighthouse in St. George Island, Florida, United States
The lighthouse stands 21.5 meters tall on St. George Island, serving as a maritime navigation beacon at the entrance to Apalachicola Bay.
The original structure from 1833 underwent three reconstructions, with the current tower rebuilt in 2008 using 22,000 bricks salvaged from its predecessor.
The St. George Lighthouse Association maintains a museum in the replica keeper's house, displaying maritime artifacts and a third-order Fresnel lens.
Visitors can climb 92 stairs to reach the observation deck, which provides views of the Gulf of Mexico, Apalachicola Bay, and St. George Sound.
The lighthouse holds monthly night climbs during full moons, allowing visitors to experience the structure under different lighting conditions.
