These 16 Lighthouses In Florida Are Priceless Gems Everyone Should See

Florida’s many lighthouses are historic treasures that can take you back to another time. Dating back to the 1800s, these iconic structures will give you a glimpse of postcard-perfect Old Florida. Here are some of our favorites.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
