Lighthouse Challenge coming to Franklin, Gulf and Wakulla Counties

The first lighthouse challenge ever held in Florida will be held during Florida Lighthouse Day in April in Franklin, Gulf and Wakulla Counties. A Lighthouse Challenge is an event that “challenges” participants to visit or climb a number of lighthouses in a specified time period.

Four area lighthouses will be open for climbing during the Challenge on April 24th and 25th – Cape San Blas Lighthouse, Cape St. George Light, Crooked River Lighthouse, and St. Marks Lighthouse.

The Forgotten Coast Lighthouse Challenge is intended to raise awareness about northwest Florida’s lighthouses and encourage support for the efforts to preserve the historic structures.

Visitors to the four Forgotten Coast lighthouses during the two-day event will receive a complimentary commemorative souvenir at each lighthouse, with a fifth souvenir awarded to participants who visit all four. Each of the lighthouses will offer raffle prizes, as well as other activities during the Challenge.

There will be a special participant in the Forgotten Coast Lighthouse Challenge. Miss Megan Clementi, the reigning Miss Florida USA, will take part in the event.
