ABOUT TWILIGHT AT THE TOWER & OTHER EVENING EVENTS

Enjoy this opportunity to see the gorgeous natural surroundings of the St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach under the glow of the evening sky. Take a special after-hours tour of the Keeper’s House Museum and visit the exhibit for the lighthouse’s original Fresnel lens crafted in Paris, France, in 1894. Browse inside the Lighthouse Gift Shop for unique nautical gifts and souvenirs. Enjoy baked goodies, popcorn, and refreshments by donation from the Beacon Bistro. Chill by the glowing bonfire in the park (weather permitting). Bring a chair, relax on the lighthouse grounds, and enjoy a memorable evening as the evening sky transforms from sunset colors to deep twilight blues. 

For those looking for an unforgettable view, twilight tower climbs provide a chance to experience the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast from the top. Climbers will enjoy panoramic views of St. George Sound, Carrabelle Beach, and the beautiful colors of twilight stretching across the horizon as dusk settles over the coast. All climbers must be at least 44 inches tall. There will be a time limit for viewing from the top. Climb reservations are encouraged. 

Guests who would like a more leisurely climbing experience are welcome to enjoy one of the daytime climbs available every Wednesday through Sunday.
