Cedar Key Light, Integral lighthouse on Seahorse Key, Florida, US.
Cedar Key Light stands at 23 meters tall on Seahorse Key, providing essential maritime navigation guidance along the Gulf Coast of Florida since 1854.
The lighthouse began operations in 1854 with a fourth-order Fresnel lens designed by George Meade, illuminating the waters for fifteen nautical miles.
The structure represents maritime navigation heritage through its architecture and position within Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1929.
The lighthouse facility functions as a research laboratory and dormitory for the University of Florida's Marine Laboratory since 1997.
In 2019, Cedar Key Light resumed its original function when a replica of the historic Fresnel lens was installed, marking its return to active service.
