The St. Augustine Light, built in 1874, is a working lighthouse that offers a rewarding climb to its observation deck. The adjacent keeper's house contains a museum with exhibits on maritime history and lighthouse life. The site also features a gift shop and a nature trail through the surrounding park. It's one of the few lighthouses in the U.S. that allows visitors to climb to the top.
