BEACON HILL LIGHT
Beacon Hill, Florida
This is the light stand
that replaced the St. Joseph Bay Lighthouse, which has become a private
residence and relocated down near Cape San Blas, but I missed seeing it. This
skeleton tower was erected in 1960 and places the optic 78 feet above sea level.
It was about as attractive as the tower that replaced Dice Head Light in Castine,
Maine. A lot easier to get to. As you drive north up the main road, yep still
Hwy 98, it's right there beside the road to your right.
