Cape San Blas Light
Cape San Blas Light, Maritime lighthouse in Port St. Joe, Florida, US
The Cape San Blas Light features a white square skeletal tower that rises 101 feet above the water level with an electric lighting system.
The first lighthouse was built in 1849 to guide ships around dangerous shoals, but storms and erosion led to multiple reconstructions until 1885.
The relocation of the lighthouse in 2014 brought together the entire community, with 249 people participating in the first climbing event that September.
Visitors can climb the lighthouse, explore exhibits in the Keepers' Quarters, and purchase maritime memorabilia at the gift shop in George Core Park.
The lighthouse transportation convoy stretched over 900 feet long and required two traffic lanes for its journey to the new location in 2014.
