In reply to dunelight. Thanks for reading and commenting. I don't know how you volunteer day in and day out. But thanks for all you do. We may have climbed up if we had arrived earlier in the day. But even so, climbing is not as easy as it once was. Best wishes to you for continuing the work you do until it is not enjoyable any more. We need people like you!

I am a volunteer lighthouse keeper. There will come a day when I will no longer be able to climb the tower. They are still a beautiful reminder of our nations maritime heritage. Thanks for posting.

In reply to gallivance.net. What great information! I'm constantly thinking, "What took you so long to get to SA?" It really is a wonderful city -- such diverse activities and a playful attitude even with all the historical forts, homes, etc. Wish we had driven around the homes near the lighthouse -- we love to take side streets and look at houses -- just one of our fave things to do when we travel through a town or city. You're making me think we need to go back!!!

Rusha, we lived at St. Augustine Beach (twice) and loved it. We had a house and then a condo a couple of blocks from the beach and it was wonderful. As you probably discovered, SA is a special place. Also, I love the interesting little neighborhood around the lighthouse. This little pocket of unique, eclectic homes is laid-back and pretty neat. Thanks for a walk down memory lane.

In reply to cindy knoke. Thanks so much, Cindy. Travel teaches us many things -- and reading about them is only part of the experience. Seeing the places brings things to life!

In reply to Curt Mekemson. Curt, it was new information to me also. So that's why we put it in the post. It does make sense and explains why each lighthouse is different. Or I guess each lighthouse is different. Need to look into that!

In reply to Judy @ newenglandgardenandthread. You're so right. It's all good. We arrived late in the day and just decided to see all except the view from the top. But most people want to "check off" that they have been to the top of the lighthouses they visit. A great goal!

I’ve climbed to the top of some and looked at the outside of others. It’s all enjoyable because lighthouses are special whether you are inside or outside. Beautiful. 🙂
