Amelia Island Lighthouse

This is a historic lighthouse. Sadly it only opens on Saturday from 11:00 -2:00 pm. We got there at 13:00 and were able to listen in to the class provided. We also got a look at the interior but could not go up, it is considered unsafe, even though the stairs are made of granite. Photos of the original lighthouse pre restoration is in the small shed adjacent. The grounds are well kept with great foliage.

Visiting this spot was definitely a highlight of my trip. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, and it is so peaceful just being able to walk around and take in all that history. It is such a beautiful, well-maintained place that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the scenery and get some great photos.

I went Saturday August 17th at 11:00, and it was open to park and walk around the lighthouse. Several others came and went as I was there taking pictures, expect to spend about 10 minutes there at most. There are a few benches if you'd like to sit and rest. The lighthouse is beautiful, and worth the visit if you enjoy lighthouses and are in the area. As others have said, it's only open on Saturdays starting at 11:00 for a few hours. There are no facilities there, just simply a few parking spaces and the lighthouse. It's located in the middle of a neighborhood and the "driveway" up to it is 1 lane.
