The second-tallest brick lighthouse in America and Florida's only National Historic Landmark lighthouse. Its beam runs a staccato signature — six quick white flashes in fifteen seconds, then fifteen seconds of stillness, round and round. Two hundred and thirteen steps to the top, straight up red-washed brick.
