Palmer Island Lighthouse

Local’s take

The little lighthouse on every postcard, ours included. Admire it from the barrier.

Palmer Island Lighthouse sits in the harbor just north of the hurricane barrier. It isn’t open to the public, but you get a good look from the Harbor Walk on top of the barrier. It’s the lighthouse you’ll see in half the photos of the harbor.
