The Key West Lighthouse is one of the most iconic historic landmarks in Key West. Originally built in 1848 to safely guide ships through the hazardous reefs around the Florida Keys, it now offers visitors a breathtaking 360-degree view of the island, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Next to the lighthouse is the Keeper’s Quarters Museum, which provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives of lighthouse keepers. Exhibits include historic artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays showcasing maritime history and the personal stories of the lighthouse keepers and their families.
