St Augustine Lighthouse - St Augustine, Florida
- (More Popular? Cloudy Day Photo version)

This photo with less vivid colors taken on a cloudy day was actually more popular with people purchasing Stock Photo Downloads at the Site where we used to have our Photo Downloads posted than the Photo Version above this photo taken on a sunny day -- for some unknown reason!
The prior Stock Photo Downloads Site went out of business, so we have yet to see what will happen with our Photos of Florida Light houses at our New High Resolution Photo Download Pages at - www.TravelPhotosUSA.com

St. Augustine Lighthouse View from the top open viewing deck - St Augustine, Florida

A fourteen story - 219 steps - climb to the top for this view!

St. Augustine Lighthouse Metal Spiral Stairs down from top open viewing deck - St Augustine, Florida

219 metal steps down from the open viewing deck at the top!  Kids love the noisy spiral metal steps -- the ones going down are easier for some reason!

The light is active, and is an aid to navigation, but it is not open to the public. The Ownership of Cape Canaveral Lighthouse has been transferred from the Coast Guard to the United States Air Force since it is now on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse
   Jupiter Inlet, Florida

The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is located in Jupiter, Florida, on the north side of the Jupiter Inlet. Work on the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was interrupted from 1856 to 1858 by the Third Seminole Indian War. The Jupiter Inlet lighthouse was completed in 1860 at a cost of $60,860, which was almost twice the original appropriation for it's construction. The lighthouse started operation in July of 1860

The Jupiter Inlet lighthouse is built on a hill which is a natural parabolic sand dune. The top of the 108-foot tower is 146 feet above sea level. The light is visible 28.8 miles at sea.

The movie star Burt Reynolds lived on a large ranch in Jupiter for most of his career - He was a big box office draw during the 1970's and 1980's.

Initially, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was painted bright fire engine red. When the renovation of it was completed in 2000, it ended up the more subdued brick red it is today.

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse + Inlet + Pole Sitting Pelicans - Jupiter Inlet, Florida

You can see several pelicans sitting on the 5 poles in the water to the right of the flag.
A High Res close up picture of the "Pole Sitting Pelicans" is at our Photo Downloads Previews Pages

the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse - Jupiter Inlet, Florida

The climb to the top isn't so bad for the Florida Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, since the Lighthouse sits on a 48 foot hill for an overall Lighthouse height of 156 feet tall. The top of the lighthouse is "only" 108 foot above the "hill" level, but you do have to climb the approximately 70 steps up the hill to the lighthouse. Overall, the 105 step climb up the spiral metal lighthouse stairs seems much shorter than the 14 story, 219 step climb to the top of the St Augustine Lighthouse above.

Both the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and the St Augustine Lighthouse have a great view at the top! You can see by the photos that I have climbed both. (Actually have now climbed the St Augustine Light house twice!) Maybe can climb the Jupiter Inlet Light house again and take more pictures on our next Vacation to Eastern Florida Beaches -- and Lighthouses, since we still have several more Eastern Florida Lighthouses to see and photograph to add to this page. For now at least, am trying to use only my own Florida Lighthouse Photos.
(Had to make an exception for the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse above, since we never were able to get in to view and take pictures of that Lighthouse. Now, it sounds on their web site like Lighthouse Tours there are discontinued indefinitely.)

View a Photo of when the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was Bright Red - on a Florida Lighthouse Friends page

The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse is located on the north side of Hillsboro Inlet, about halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, FL, in Hillsboro Beach, Florida.

The United States Lighthouse Establishment persuaded Congress in 1901 to authorize the construction of a lighthouse in the "dark" area between the Jupiter Inlet Light and Fowey Rocks Light. In the last half of the 20th century, Hillsboro Inlet became an increasingly busy waterway. The Hillsboro Inlet Light house with its second-order Fresnel lens is one of the most powerful lights in the world with a beam that can be seen for 32 miles. The light is placed 136 feet above sea leve

The octagonal iron pyramidal tower was built at a Foundry Company in Detroit, Michigan, and moved to the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse Station in 1906. It was lit on March 7, 1907. It was automated in 1974 and the lighthouse now acts both as a coastal aid to navigation, and as a support to local water traffic.

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and Hillsboro Inlet - zoomed in photo taken from balcony of
Timeshare Resort Unit about a half mile away on Pompano Beach, Florida

One of the many times on this Florida Vacation that I appreciated the built in 20x optical stabilized zoom
and wide angle lens in my then relatively new Canon Powershot SX280 HS Digital Camera.
A lot of great features including HD Video packed in a easy to use "pants pocket sized" quality camera!

St Marks Lighthouse - Inland Florida Lighthouse south of Tallahassee, Florida

Historic St Mark's Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge -- about 25 miles south of Tallahassee, Forida. South of Wakulla Springs State Park, FL.

The St. Marks Lighthouse is the second-oldest light station in Florida and was built in 1831. It is located on the east side of the mouth of the St. Marks River, on Apalachee Bay, Florida, USA.
