Two seniors visited here in late January 2023 and had an excellent day. We literally spent from 10am until 5pm here. Between the actual lighthouse, the shipbuilder’s area (where they are building a couple of actual sea-going boats), the archaeology conservation building and the actual three story museum, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Note that we are history nerds and tend to absorb/read all of the information available, so YMMV in how long you stay. They even offer lighthouse keeper tours for a few dollars more that looked interesting but were all filled up for our available times. The actual museum had exhibits on the lighthouse, the keepers and their families, commercial shrimping in the area, and underwater archaeology they have done in the local rivers including cannons and other artifacts from the Revolutionary War that they have found and are conserving. Well worth your time. Elementary age children and older would most likely find it interesting also.See more..

This is a great lighthouse to visit while in the Miami area. It is easily accessible on the state park portion of Key Biscayne and the cost is $8 to enter the park. The history of the lighthouse is interestingly told twice daily when the lighthouse is opened allowing people to make the trek to the top. I highly recommend!See more..

When the Tampa Bay Watch organization built their new facility in 2005 they included a USCG-permitted lighthouse. It is the first new lighthouse in Florida in over 50 years. Although you are not allowed to climb up into the lighthouse, the location is very scenic and the organization has other activities at the site.See more..
