There is a limited time frame on Saturdays when you can access the lighthouse. The rest of the week you can pull up to the gate and see the lighthouse.

Why is the lighthouse far from the ocean?

The lighthouse was originally built on Cumberland Island to guide vessels into the St. Mary’s River. The channel changed and made it so the lighthouse on Cumberland Island could no longer be seen when entering the St. Mary’s river. After the US took over Florida the lighthouse was dismantled brick by brick, shipped across the river, and reconstructed on the northern end of Amelia Island. The lighthouse is on the leeward side of Amelia island helping to protect it from storms. The light is still visible 16 miles out to sea.
