St. Augustine Lighthouse
One of my favorite lighthouses is the one in St. Augustine, Florida first lit in 1874. Not only is the light there, but there is also the Alligator Farm and a large fort called Castillo de San Marcos built in 1695. So lots of stuff to visit.
One of the best parts of visiting this light is that it is tucked away amidst a bunch of old southern oak trees.
The Keeper's house and museum just oozes southern charm and gives a traveler a welcome break from summer heat. The first light of any kind built on Anastasia Island was a wooden lookout tower built in 1586 by the Spanish.
The light is located just a short walk away from the Alligator farm, which is where I have gone a number of time to photograph the nesting wading birds. So trading back and forth between the two places is one of the better places in Florida to photograph.
