St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum
The St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime is a staple in the community and a must-visit for beautiful views of Matanzas Bay. Visitors can climb 219 steps up to the top of the lighthouse and catch views of the Bay, Atlantic Ocean, and historic downtown of St. Augustine.
On your visit here, you can stroll the grounds and take in the sights or go on a "Behind the Scenes" guided tour, which is included in your admission price. This tour is offered from 11 am to 3 pm daily, and it includes the history of the Light Station as well as the preservation and research work that takes place on-site today.
