The historic Pensacola Lighthouse in Florida is a beacon for sailors since 1859. It stands tall within the confines of the Pensacola Naval Air Station. Originally built to mark the treacherous passage across the Pensacola Bar, this iconic structure has witnessed countless vessels navigate the waters safely. During the Civil War, the lighthouse was extinguished and occupied by Confederate forces, adding a layer of historical intrigue to its legacy. Today, the lighthouse continues to grace the naval air station, its elegant architecture reminiscent of a Southern plantation with its two-story veranda. Today it is a maritime museum. In order to gain access to the air station you need to have a military ID.
P.S. the base is also home to the Blue Angels, if you are a veteran this base is wonderful place to visit with a lot of history and amazing aircraft on display.
