History lovers are invited to visit the scene of the US Army’s training camp to prepare for D-Day and other amphibious invasions during World War II.

Stroll along the riverfront in our historic fishing village where three-masted schooners loaded on lumber in the 1800’s. Learn the ways of our earliest inhabitants; see the site of Carrabelle’s Civil War skirmish and much more brought to life through the faces of Carrabelle’s three fascinating historical museums.

Lighthouse Challenge Comes to the Florida Panhandle!
The Florida Panhandle Lighthouse Challenge, to be held on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22, 2012, will celebrate the five lighthouses in Northwest Florida – Cape St. George Light, Crooked River Lighthouse, St. Marks Lighthouse, Cape San Blas Lighthouse, and Pensacola Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse Challenge will bring lighthouse enthusiasts from all over the country to “meet the challenge” of visiting the five historic lighthouses. For the price of a Challenge ticket, participants will be able to climb a total of more than 500 steps into the maritime history of the Florida Panhandle!
Climb 131 stairs to the top of the Cape San Blas Lighthouse and take in panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joe Bay. Make the trek up 92 wooden stairs and an eight-rung ladder into the lantern room of the Cape St. George Light, for spectacular views of the Gulf and the bridge to the island over beautifulApalachicola Bay. Climb 138 stairs up the Crooked River Lighthouse in Carrabelle to the open-air gallery offering breath-taking vistas of the wooded area around the lighthouse and the Gulf beyond. The St. Marks Lighthouse, which reaches 82 feet over Apalachee Bay, will not be open for climbing, but Challenge participants will be able to enter the base of the lighthouse and visit the Keeper’s House.
New to the Lighthouse Challenge in 2012 is the Pensacola Lighthouse. For a real challenge, climb 177 stairs to the top of the distinctive black and white tower to see the magnificent first order Fresnel lens and views of Pensacola Bay and the Naval Air Station.
The Florida Panhandle Lighthouse Challenge, timed to commemorate Florida Lighthouse Day on April 21, is intended to raise awareness about northwest Florida’s lighthouses and encourage support for the efforts to preserve these historic structures. Visitors to the five lighthouses during the two-day event will receive a complimentary commemorative souvenir at each lighthouse, with a sixth souvenir and a Florida Lighthouse Association Completion Certificate awarded to participants who visit all five.
Challenge tickets will be available at any of the participating lighthouses on the days of the event. Tickets will be priced at $10.00 per person, and you must be at least 44 inches tall to participate. Each admission price includes one commemorative tote bag (while supplies last) and one raffle ticket, and entitles participants to visit the five lighthouses at no charge. There is an additional entry fee at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge.
Each of the unique Panhandle lighthouses will offer raffle prizes, as well as other activities during the Challenge. Food, music, arts and crafts, and living history presentations will be part of the fun-filled weekend. Hours for the Challenge are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
The Florida Panhandle Lighthouse Challenge is supported in part by grants from the Franklin County Tourist Development Council, the Gulf County Tourist Development Council, the Pensacola Bay Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Florida Lighthouse Association.
