St. George Island lighthouse

A white-painted brick lighthouse at the west end of St. George Island, where the Apalachicola Bay meets the open Gulf. The original tower went up in 1833 and was rebuilt twice; the current structure is a 2008 reconstruction from the salvaged brick of the 2005 collapse. It stands 72 feet tall in a small park beside the keeper's house and a museum. The Forgotten Coast is the quietest stretch of the Florida panhandle, with long stretches of empty beach on either side and almost no built skyline behind it.
