Anclote Keys Light, Lighthouse on Anclote Key, Florida, US
The Anclote Keys Light features a 31-meter skeletal square pyramidal tower structure with a brown exterior and black lantern at its summit.
Built in 1887 to guide vessels through the Gulf Coast waters, the lighthouse operated with its original third-order Fresnel lens until automation in 1952.
The Friends of Anclote Key State Park organization leads preservation initiatives and educational programs about the maritime heritage of Florida's coast.
Access to the lighthouse requires a personal boat as the barrier island location sits three miles offshore from the mainland at Tarpon Springs.
The lighthouse structure was prefabricated from cast iron and assembled on site within three months, demonstrating advanced engineering methods of the 1880s.
