St. Augustine Light, Maritime lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida, United States.
The white lighthouse tower with black spiral stripes rises 50 meters above the Atlantic coast near St. Augustine inlet.
The current structure, designed by architect Paul J. Pelz, replaced the original 1824 Spanish watchtower and started operations in 1874.
The lighthouse museum displays maritime artifacts from the region and tells stories of the keepers who maintained the beacon for generations.
Visitors can climb 219 steps to reach the observation deck, which provides views of St. Augustine, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Matanzas River.
The lighthouse lens produces a fixed white light that reaches 21 nautical miles into the ocean, guiding ships through the St. Augustine inlet.
