We had the $9/person and an hour to kill, so we went to the St. Augustine Lighthouse. The admission includes an Audio Tour and they've got about 20 numbered signs around the place that will tell you different things about the stuff along the way. The rooms of the keeper's house are a museum of the history of the Lighthouse... more

219 steps go by quickly--it sounds worse than what it actually is. Beautiful breeze throughout the tower. Great views from the top. They have done a wonderful job in preserving the area and reconstructing the keepers house that had been vandalized and burned. It is worth the 8 dollars for a trip back in time, knowing that this money goes... more

Ok I am out of shape and this was a long climb, they have landings where you can catch your breath. As you go up there are windows some open with a really nice breeze that can be felt.

The pictures were amazing. You can see miles on a clear day. Since I couldn't tour the whole lighthouse, they kindly let me in free.... more

Use the prerecorded tour (free) and wander as you please.Discover what a hammock really is! Volunteers and staff were friendly and helpful. Cafe prices reasonable and shady spot next to keepers house to sit and relax. more

The website showed the lighthouse as being $7 but when we got there it ended up being $9. It was not worth the price, but I guess they need money to maintain the lighthouse and keep the unfriendly employee that works in the gift shop. more
