The St. Augustine Lighthouse, located on Anastasia Island, is actually the second of two lighthouses in the Ancient City. The first being the first lighthouse established in Florida by the new, territorial, American Government in 1824.
The second newer tower was completed in 1874 and put into service with a new first-order Fresnel lens. It was lit for the first time in October 1874 by keeper William Russell. Russell was the first lighthouse keeper in the new tower, and the only keeper to have worked both towers.
The tower stands 165 feet and features 219 steps in a circular stairway.
The Saint Augustine Lighthouse beacon flashes once with no more flashes for the remaining 29 seconds of its 30-second cycle.
