Cape Florida Lighthouse
Cape Florida has a rich history as a symbol of freedom, serving various groups from Seminole Indians striving to maintain their Florida residence to fugitive slaves and Black Seminoles who clandestinely gathered before embarking on safe journeys to the British Bahamas. Today, it stands as a tranquil spot to unwind and bask in the Florida sun on a beach consistently ranked among the top 10 nationwide.
Explorer Ponce de Leon bestowed the name Cape Florida during the inaugural Spanish expedition to Florida in 1513. Delving into the past is possible through guided tours of the lighthouse and keeper's cottage, or by exploring the park on foot, bicycle, or through boat and kayak adventures. Don't miss the opportunity to witness breathtaking sunsets over the bay during your visit.
