Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum and its collection

Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum
Source

The Pensacola Light, located at Pensacola Bay in Florida, is a lighthouse that has a rich history. It is the third version of what was originally a lightship named the Aurora Borealis. Despite its evolution over the years, the Pensacola Light continues to serve as an aid to navigation, a testament to its enduring relevance and functionality.

Visiting the Pensacola Light

Since 2009, the Pensacola Light has been open to the public for tours on a limited basis, and from early 2011, it has been open 7 days a week. The Pensacola Lighthouse Association is responsible for the maintenance and tour operations. Adjacent to the lighthouse tower, the 1869 keeper's quarters now serve as a museum and gift shop, also managed by the Pensacola Lighthouse Association.

The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience with informative tours. Some visitors mention that the admission price is reasonable for the experience offered. A few reviewers suggest visiting during cooler hours or bringing water, as the lighthouse interior can get warm.
