The Cape St. George Light is a significant historical landmark in Florida. This 72-foot high brick lighthouse originally stood for 153 years on St. George Island before it toppled into the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. However, the pieces of the lighthouse were retrieved and the light's restoration was completed in April 2008. Today, it stands as a testament to the area's rich history and resilience.

    The Cape St. George Light in Eastpoint, United States, offers visitors an informative and scenic experience. This reconstructed lighthouse, which originally stood on St. George Island, now serves as a museum and lookout point. Guests can climb the tower for panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Gulf of Mexico and Apalachicola Bay. The museum portion provides historical context about the lighthouse and the local maritime history. While small in size, it compensates with interesting exhibits and knowledgeable staff who are often on hand to answer questions. The climb to the top can be challenging for some, with narrow stairs, but most find the view worth the effort. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the opportunity to learn about the lighthouse's past and its importance to the region. However, some note that the experience is relatively brief and may not occupy a full day's activities. Overall, the Cape St. George Light offers a good blend of history, education, and coastal views, making it a worthwhile stop for those interested in maritime heritage or looking for a picturesque photo opportunity.
