Great stop for history and sightseeing! This lighthouse has been there since 1870. When you climb the stairs to the top, you have a great view of the city of Tequesta, Jupiter, and parts of Palm Beach. On a great clear day you can see the beauty of the ocean and the inlet. The small museum provides a great overview of the Native Americans who lived there before the arrival of European sailing ships and the history the place has to offer.
