Questions
FAQ
A quick starting point for visitors, members, teachers, and anyone planning a Florida lighthouse trip.
Can I visit every lighthouse?
No. Some are museums or parks with regular hours, some are on restricted land, and others are offshore or only visible by boat. Always check the local site before traveling.
What is a faux lighthouse?
A lighthouse-inspired structure that is not a historic aid to navigation. Faux lights can be interesting landmarks, but they are not the main focus of FLA preservation grants.
How do I support a lighthouse?
Visit, become a member, donate, buy the specialty license plate, volunteer locally, and share accurate information about preservation needs.
Can schools use these resources?
Yes. The directory, glossary, map, and lighthouse stories can support lessons about maritime history, engineering, geography, and preservation.
