I came here with friends and was pleasantly surprised how much we got out of a light house tour. The grounds are gorgeous, the tower and volunteer staff was instantly kind and educational. The gift shop was very well stocked with tons of great merchandise for any visitor. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

Beautiful place to see!! We toured with Brian who is full of information about everything you could imagine to learn about the lighthouse. The view is beautiful and everything is really well restored. Definitely something to see in the Pensacola area- you do have to book a private tour with the lighthouse though if you do not have a military ID. Very easy to do this by just contacting the lighthouse.
