🌟 SHINING BRIGHT! Thanks to merriammultimedia for these stunning photos taken this week of our lighthouse shining bright — exactly what it is meant to do! The original Fresnel lens from 1874 still shines every night. Our lens has 370 individual prisms and weighs roughly 2 tons. A 1000-watt light bulb currently serves as it light source, as it has since the tower was electrified in 1936. The St. Augustine Light is open 9 AM to 6 PM seven days a week, and in the evening during the holiday season for Lighthouse Illumination tours and Dark of the Moon Ghost Tours.
