Cape Canaveral Lighthouse

The lighthouse is the oldest standing structure on the Cape. Originally built in 1868 to replace a much shorter brick lighthouse, it was moved to its present location and put back into service in 1894.

Additional information about the lighthouse and can be found at the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Foundation web site.
