From 7:00-10:00 pm ET, guests can enjoy the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as the sun sets and the Pink Moon rises. Named for the early spring blooms of creeping phlox, or "moss pink," April's Moon has long been associated with the vibrant colors of spring’s arrival.
Visitors can also have an after-hours visit in the Keeper’s House Museum and see the exhibit for the lighthouse’s original, historic Fresnel lens. Guests may also enjoy the glowing bonfire in the park. Bring a chair and enjoy the evening.
Evening climbs are also available for those brave souls who are bold enough to venture to the top of the tallest Forgotten Coast lighthouse. Climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking views of St. George Sound. Evening climbs cost $10 and climb tickets are needed due to limited availability. Climbers must be at least 44 inches tall.
