Climb the SGI lighthouse for free on Saturday

Saturday is Florida Lighthouse Day and the Cape St. George Lighthouse on St. George Island is celebrating by letting people climb the lighthouse for free.

The Lighthouse, Museum, and Gift Shop will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and there will be no charge for climbing to the top of the Lighthouse.

And since the glass in the lantern room was just replaced a few weeks ago, you should get some pretty spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico and Apalachicola Bay from the top of the Lighthouse.

You’ll still need to get your free ticket at the Lighthouse Gift Shop to present to the Lighthouse Keeper before you climb.

Florida Lighthouse Day is celebrated annually in April to commemorate the State’s remaining lighthouses.

There were at one time 59 lighthouses to guide mariners into the state’s ports and rivers; thirty are still standing.

For more information, please contact the Lighthouse Gift Shop at 850-927-7745.
