St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum

If you have a fear of heights, the spiral stairs may be tough as you can see through them. Even if you don't go all the way up, you can get some great photos.

Lighthouse and Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the past and keeping alive the story of the nation’s oldest port . St Augustine is great place to site see.

Definitely do the Dark of the Moon Tour . They give you a tour tell you the hotspots then let you go free to roam. Also the 5$ EMF rental is worth it. Very fun tour . Worth the price. Bring water !

Everything is good here! Views , history, architecture , people, name it, it has it all!

Be sure to go on The Dark of The Moon tour it's the only one that gets you in the lighthouse at night, and one of the best ghost tours in the area, the lighthouse was on an episode of Ghost Hunters !

The lighthouse , grounds, and exhibits are very well done. This 165 footer is a must see lighthouse , I was able to check in my my archaeology colleagues at LAMP during my visit.

For proper GPS directions use the address 100 Red Cox Road , from the City you travel past the lighthouse , and turn back to it on Red Cox Road . Turn between the fire station and the Skate Park .

This is the first lighthouse established by the new territorial American Government in 1824. During WWII the Coast Guard trained in St. Augustine & used the lighthouse as a lookout for enemy vessels.

I just LOVE St. Augustine, every single tour has a magical aura, and history is "everywhere", beautiful view from the top of the Lighthouse

Very interesting information about lighthouse and family that lived there. I’d been there 40 years ago when it was just the lighthouse . Worth the trip

Great place to check out. If you wanna just see the lighthouse you have to pay. 12.99 per person, not too bad for the view ! Very neat to see in person.

It's less expensive for families to purchase a membership, which also gives extra benefits and helps this nonprofit museum save history and teach young scientists.

Great spot for sunset ! Time it that youre at the top during sunset .

As long as you've journeyed the 219 steps to the top of the lighthouse , check out the Alligator Farm across the street, it's a great place!

If you can do it, the climb up the lighthouse ...219 steps...is worth it. Once up there the views are spectacular.

There are benches on some of the landings on the way up. Pace yourself if you need to and rest a while on them. It's over 200 steps, but worth it to get to the top!

219 steps to the top! It goes faster than you'd think.

219 stairs to the top, but so worth it!! Great breeze and view of ocean and stuff.

Great big light house with lots of steps

Get a lighthouse passport and get it stamped at every lighthouse you visit!

211 steps to climb and a super interesting museum this place is definitely worth it.

There platforms when you're going up the stairs for resting which is nice because there's obviously tons of stairs.

I did the paranormal tour and it was pretty great, but go on a week day instead of a Saturday so the group is smaller.

if you ever have a chance to go up into the light house ,do it!!! beautiful!!!

Loved this place,I did feel weird on the top level of light house

Matt is an extremely vibrant and exciting guide for The Dark of the Moon tour ! The young spirits really seem to love him.

Use the audio tour and take a break to enjoy the cold beer - served on tap !!!!

That was a lot of steps but well worth it! Beautiful view and landings in between for breaks

Don't be afraid of the stairs, the view is awesome!

Great museum and view of the area.

Was disappointed to find that they charge a fee of 10.00 just to enter the place whether you climb it or not. As a family of 6, I couldn't afford it. Got pretty pics from the outside though!

Beautiful view from the top!

The have a ghost tour . We are not staying for it. Nice area

Something exciting andinteresting to do. Bring water and beware of the heat. The view and breeze at the top of the light house is great.

Exceptional view up top. Just the entire ambience. Not a bad site

It's worth every step.

Love this Lighthouse . I made it to the top.

A must see.

Love the lighthouses

The trip up the stairs is worth it!!

Closes at 7:00, but the sunsets are incredible.

The wife made it to the top. Not bad for her age. (she was on Noah's Ark)

Very cool place to see

The interior winding staircase is great fun to climb .

The 219 steps to the top are well worth it.

See Saint Augustine from the best spot

its a long walk upstairs so bring water and try to go when its cooler outside.

Tickets are exorbitantly pricey .

Its a beautiful sight once youve reached the top
