    Lighthouses of Florida
    Episode 84

    Florida’s lighthouses have provided constant beacons of light to sailors for many years, bringing them home

    safely. Effectively helping them to navigate the treacherous and sometimes dangerous reefs and jetties that must be avoided in order to reach our coastal paradise.

    Thanks to our sponsor, A Fanthom Presents Film – The Ark and The Darkness – Movie Trailer here: NoahsFlood

    It is inspiring to see them, to hear the stories of those who were the keepers of the light, the stories of those saved by the light and to see them still standing, still doing their job — constant.

    I’d like to invite you to explore some of these treasures that have been a welcome sight for so many through the years. – Suzanne Nunn, FPEA Chairman
