Reviews of St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum
"This was a great experience. The climb to the top is challenging but many stops along the way to either rest or allow others to pass. View from the top is beautiful! Keepers building was interesting and there were some men actually building wooden boats. Nature trails were fun too!"
"Wonderful experience! We paid the fee to go to the top and it was well worth to climb the 219 steps. Outstanding views! Beautiful lighthouse! Staff were friendly. Restroom was as to be expected. Reasonable prices in the gift shop. Will definitely return!"
"The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum is a historic site dating back to 1589 with the first wooden watchtower built by the Spanish. The current lighthouse tower was built in 1874 and looks like it's still an active aid to navigation today. You can climb the 219 steps to the top for nice views of the Atlantic Ocean and St. Augustine (better have binoculars :-). Honestly, there is no point in visiting this lighthouse without climbing to the top. The museum exhibits tell the story of Florida's maritime history, from the early days of exploration to the modern era. Nice small museum."
"Overall, pretty good experience. This place does get crowded, though, (especially with children!) but that’s to be expected of any attraction in Florida. The actual lighthouse has a pretty long line because of the crowd, but it didn’t take long. View was good. Got good pictures. Good piece of history."
"It was a wonderful experience atop the light house. One has to climb up more than 200 stairs but the view from up there is worth it. We went there on a Thursday and the place had a decent amount of crowd. It has multiple museums mentioning the history of the lighthouse, US Coast guard and shrimp industry. You have lots of places to take good photos from and they also have a gift shop. They have kids play areas, and also good places. There's something for everyone. Entry is relatively cheap too! Do visit here if you are in St Augustine!"
