This beautiful lighthouse has THE best view of Biscayne Bay, Stiltsville and Bill Braggs State Park! The staff is so helpful and kind (major shoutout to Eric who took exceptional photos of my dad and I) entry into the lighthouse is only available Wednesday to Monday @ 10:00am- 12:00pm. If you have small children, be aware that they have to be over 42 inches tall to inter.
This park is absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. It offers access to several stunning beaches with clear, refreshing water and scenic views throughout the area. The park also features a restaurant, making it convenient to grab a meal while enjoying your visit. One of the highlights is the historic lighthouse, which includes exhibits that share important history about the arrival of enslaved people in Florida during the 1800s. Overall, it’s a wonderful destination that combines natural beauty, relaxation, and meaningful historical significance.
Was on the lighthouse cruise tour yesterday. It was amazing. Highly recommend. Great experience and saw a dolphin & two baby turtles. Also visited Deering state beautiful Christmas decorations 👍🏻💯
We are regulars here, but first time hopping onto the lighthouse during tour hours and it was a cool experience! Expect a long line during peak hours to get up to lighthouse
