Here the people are obnoxious,arrogant, rude, snotty... u name it they are not friendly at all. They think they're better than everyone else. People say that in Chicago we have attitudes- here, they make up for it! I hate this place, the restaurants here suck- service and food, I would not recommend for a trip!

The lighthouse is beautiful and very well preserved. They have the biggest Banyan tree I have ever seen.It is majestic. The museum is neat and shows a lot of the history of Seminoles indians and early pioneers life revolved around the Loxahatchee River and the Jupiter Inlet. The tour is guided as you cannot walk by yourself due to the... More

The lighthouse is located on a Coast Guard base and requires visitors to be with a guide while touring the property. The lady who did our tour, Lisa, was excellent. She is a volunteer with extensive knowledge of the local history. The lighthouse itself is great in all pics. There is a fee for admission with AAA discounts available. It... More

We visited the lighthouse during our visit to Florida. The history of this lighthouse is very interesting and educational. Our family enjoyed the tour. The price is acceptable, but not cheap, it's $9 per adult and $5 for kids. One thing to consider is that you must be able to hike up 105 steps inside the lighthouse and may not... More

The lighthouse is on a US coast guard base, so you only get there with the tour. You will be told a little bit about the area and history and they also have a museum you can visit (included in admission price). I would have liked to explore on my own, that's why I only give 2/5. The admission of... More

You are not permitted to carry small children. Once you start up the iron spiral staircase you will see why. It's a bit of a neckbreaker. You can see to the bottom and you can get dizzy going in circles. There are several spots near the top where you must watch your head, even kids, - but once you're up... More

We went to the lighthouse at 10am when it opened. Probably the best time due to the heat and crowds. Our guide was very knowledgable and kept our interest. Highly recommend for families. Once at the top of the lighthouse (105 winding stairs) the views are spectacular

I read up before going and knew there was a $9 fee to go inside. It was a guided tour with a volunteer from the community. She was wonderful, so sweet and really seemed to know her history of the lighthouse. One great thing about this verses some other lighthouses you can go see - because you can only go... More
