Really neat place to visit. We were not able to go inside the lighthouse because there was not a tour available, however we were still able to walk the grounds and see the lighthouse from the outside. Make sure to look up the info for their tours prior to going. Really neat place.

A scavenger hunt find. Tucked away in a neighborhood. You have to go up a skinny driveway in-between two fortunate houses to have this as a view from their backyard. It was closed while we were there. They must be running limited hours due to the times we are in but even if you cant go inside it is a must see!

Beautiful and serene grounds and well kept. Hard to find; even for those of that live on the Island. Peaceful grounds to enjoy a picnic with the family.

This lighthouse is in great need of being spruced up so to speak. Its definitely in a residential area away from the coast and its grounds are only accessible for a few hours on Saturdays otherwise you cant get near the lighthouse. We did go on a Saturday when it was open and there was quite a crowd there in the little area to check it out. But honestly theres just not much to see, there are no keepers cottages or dwellings of any kind. Theres been no landscaping or planting of flowers or anything. The lighthouse looks like it could use fresh paint. A lot of it had yellow tape around it to keep people from going up to the door. There was an old shutter propped against the side of it. And miscellaneous other things going on. We took some pictures and moved on after about five minutes. I have been to most of the lighthouses down the east coast and this was pretty disappointing but its a lighthouse so thats a win!

It’s really silly that they don’t make this easier to take photos of. You literally have to stand between two peoples houses to take the photo. It would be nice if they made a place you could drive up to to take a photo without disturbing the residents in front of it.

I was bummed to find out that the lighthouse is only open 1 day a week and of course it wasnt the day that I was there. I found it nestled in a neighborhood behind a house. The gates were closed but I tried my best to get a picture of it. I was not able to get a stamp in my lighthouse passport either as the 2 places to do that were closed. Guess I will have to try another time.

Had a privilege to meet with a very kind and generous grounds caretaker. She was a delight to talk with and shared interesting history of the lighthouse. Thanks for helping make our visit a memorable one!

Very cool lighthouse, well preserved!

Im a lover of lighthouses and give it 4 stars only because of accessibility. You cant drive up to it after hours. You encounter a locked gate in a residential area of Fernandina Beach. You also cant get a clear photo for the trees. The 4 pics I took were from behind the locked chain-link gate.

This place is a bit hard to find and its open on a certain days of the week only. But still worth to visit. Wish they open and have daily tours too.

Beautiful lighthouse just wish it was open to the public more often

I loved visiting this place. It is nestled into a hidden area and awesome to view.

Fun place to spend an hour or so on your visit to the island!

Under construction. No tours

Chill Place to have a vacation but make sure to have enough money.

Too bad the Lighthouse was.closed to public. But its an awesome place too.

Very disappointing. You cant get close enough to get decent pictures of the lighthouse. Best picture was one I found on line and did a screenshot. It is only open one day a week for a few hours. Will not visit again.

Grounds only open on Saturday and during tours. Be sure to check out the website before your visit. Beautiful lighthouse situated on the highest point on the island.

All I can say is WOW!!! We were lucky enough to get all the way up to see it. It was locked, so you can’t walk inside anymore. The downfall is it’s only open for viewing Saturdays 10-2pm. So you have to plan your trip around this time if you want to see it. Great experience!

Beautiful lighthouse to visit.

Fantastic tour and our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Cute little light house

Florida’s oldest operational lighthouse built in 1838

Love visiting lighthouses any chance I get. Interesting location within a neighborhood

Currently under construction but you can stop by and look at it.

Worth taking a look at for the historic value. Grounds are only open a few hours on Saturdays. Tours by reservations twice a month.

Not sure how you actually get to go up and see the lighthouse. You cant even see it from the road. The gate is always locked so you cant even drive up to see it. Maybe by appointment. Wish it was open to the public

There arent any information about when is open. Difficult to find.

Its a very inviting place to visit.

Its a beautiful small lighthouse. You cant go inside but of you love lighthouses its a must visit because of its unique history. Its the west-most lighthouse on the east coast and is the oldest double wall lighthouse in Florida.

This island is beautiful, and is sure to capture the heart of anyone visiting while traveling, whether it be for business or on vacation. Its a true mix of locals and transplants, and there is a good chance that if you make it your destination, and come with an open mind and a humble heart, this little barrier island in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near the Northeastern tip of Florida, will reveal a magic and beauty found nowhere else! I highly recommend Amelia Island as a destination for anyone who is looking for a place to visit.

Closed gate and no trespassing signs everywhere and surrounded by private property protected by fences. Could hardly see it thru the trees.

Not a great deal of information here. We did not go into the Coast Guard auxiliary building however. Dont be discouraged if you do not immediately find the building either, it is well hidden, for a light house.

Hard to find .You cant get close enough to see it

We kayaked past this lighthouse on Egans Creek with Amelia Island Kayak Excursions, last week. We learned about the history and got some amazing views of this beautiful structure!

Short hours, but cool to visit and lots of history.

On the website, it said that their were tours available but when we got there, no one was there and you could clearly tell that up top a bee nest had formed, as there were hundreds of bees.

Its literally in someones back yard, which I find amusing. Ok, theres a fence, however the lighthouse IS in a residential neighborhood.

Not open to the public although allowed to stroll the small grounds on select Saturdayseach month. Hard to find.

Unless you schedule a tour, you cant go into the lighthouse. It was pretty! We snapped a few selfies and took some nice photos but wish we could have gone inside.There is ONE picnic table and a small bit of grass if you wanna have lunch there. Theres not anything else...

Its so beautiful an a lot of history !

So nice to see our local historical attractions. Great lecture. See the lighthouse up close.

Very interesting place to visit.

Needs to be open moor so the public can view it beautiful historical site

We saw it from a dock on the opposite side of the water, from the fort Clinch state park. Pretty lighthouse.

Wonderful place to visit and look at. Dont know if you can make arrangements to see inside???

It is a nice old lighthouse in a very nice neighborhood. The hours of operation/tours are pretty limited, so it would be best to call the recreation department to check on hours etc.

Historic

Just drove by. Its only open for limited time. Check sign.

Its pretty cool, but St Augustines is better. Just saying

Average light house. Could use some paint. The road to get there looks like a private drive.

Did not get to take a tour but seen it from.the outside. Very pretty

Great views with easy access. Quite surroundings.

You can only get in Im a very limited time frame but it is a nice location in a beautiful beach

Absolutely breathtaking at night. Pictures do it no justice.

Nice old lighthouse cannot go in.except the few house that are posted. We didnt get to go up

A great historical site in Amelia Island to visit with family

Great place to visit if you are interested in Lighthouses. Hard to get into the grounds as they are open very few days each month.

Take the local bus tour!

Beautiful lighthouse! Worth the stop

Beautiful! Love that you can drive right up to it.

The lighthouse is closed but its still great if you have a drone.

Wish we could have gotten closer.

Pretty not open enough hours

It states on the website it is open on Saturday from 11:00 until 2:00 But doesn’t tell you that you can’t enter it and no one answers the phone for questions. I would like to rate it a negative one but wasn’t given that option. And there is not any parking available

Love that little lighthouse!

Cool place, but rarely open

Very beautiful and free to walk around! Loved it

After following the signs, we discovered the gate closed. We called the number on the sign and found out the place is only open on Saturdays and some Wednesdays, just not the Wednesday we were there. Bit of a disappointment as you cannot even get a good view from the gate.

I love lighthouses but gate is locked

Really beautiful lighthouse. Nice site, worth a visit.

Tried to see the lighthouse at 1:30 on a Saturday during open hours and there was no one there and every door was locked. At least 2 other cars came while we were there as well trying to see the lighthouse only to leave as well. very misleading. If you cannot go as iNSIDE during business hours that should be specified.

Beautiful and a historic landmark here in FB

Wish you could see it better.

Beautiful!

A dreamy place to live

Pretty, but limited hours of availability

Nice visit to this haunted museum

Had a private tour, the public is not allowed to climb inside

Its not open to the public

Hidden away from the beaten path.

Fun, closes early

1st time, will b going back

Historical

Disappointed we could not get it past dark, never had a chance to see it;(

Should stay open later

Very good historical site

Not been here but in passing by, so I cant really tell ya much about it.

Great for kids, expensive

It was beautiful

Only open one day of the week.

Greatness

Very hard to find!

Beautiful

Cant get in all week. Only Saturday.

Great place to be

Beautiful site
