My Cape Canaveral Lighthouse visit and tour with Sunward Tours
So I can scratch another one of the Florida lighthouse off my list.
The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse was opened back up to public tours a little over a year ago but I just recently made it out there. The easiest way to get here is via a tour that can be booked via Sunward Tours (contact info below).
At the time of this writing, they offer the tour on Fridays and Saturdays and it costs $27 per person and lasts about 3 hours. It must be booked 48 hours in advance and you must bring a valid ID. You board the air conditioned bus at around 8:30am which departs from the Exploration Tower in Port Canaveral. Access to the Exploration Tower is also included in the price of the tour which I recommend. The tour is well worth the price as you will also get to see the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and learn lots about the early days of the NASA Space Program. See some of the launch pads that rocketed many of the satellites hovering overhead today, and just really cool information that will make you happy to have spent part of your day here.
You can climb the 151 foot lighthouse up to the 5th level on the tour. You have to make special arrangements if you want to climb to the top. The lighthouse grounds are meticulously maintained and it was an absolute pleasure to visit.
It was a cloudless day and the temperature was about 75 degrees. So basically, the kind of Florida day that draws so many to move down here.
Let me know if anyone watching this video has visited this lighthouse and what you thought about it. Thanks very much for watching my video. Questions, comments, and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!

SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stage does a Cape Canaveral Lighthouse drive-by! 9 Aug 2018
The SpaceX Falcon 9 Merah Putih (previously know as Telkom 4) rocket launched from Cape Canaveral SLC-40 on 7 Aug 2018 at 1:18AM. This reusable Block 5 first stage landed on the drone ship out in the Atlantic and is now just making it back to Port Canaveral FL as seen from Cocoa Beach. It will then be transported by land to various SpaceX processing facilities where it will be refurbished for future flights.
PS The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse, in the background, is the only fully operational lighthouse that is owned by the United States Air Force. The current 151-foot (46 m) lighthouse tower was first erected and lit in 1868. (Wikipedia)

SUMMARY
=======
The Cape Canaveral Light is a historic lighthouse on the east coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The light was established in 1848 to warn ships of the dangerous shoals that lie off its coast. It is located inside the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and managed by the 45th Space Wing of the U.S. Air Force with the assistance of the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Foundation. It is the only fully operational lighthouse that is owned by the United States Air Force.
The current 151-foot (46 m) lighthouse tower was first erected and lit in 1868 then relocated further inland between 1893-1894. It was originally equipped with a first-order Fresnel lens that was automated in 1967 and then retired from the tower in 1993.

SUMMARY
=======
Cape Canaveral, from the Spanish Cabo Cañaveral, is a cape in Brevard County, Florida, United States, near the center of the state's Atlantic coast. Known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973, it lies east of Merritt Island, separated from it by the Banana River. It was discovered by the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in 1513.
It is part of a region known as the Space Coast, and is the site of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Since many U.S. spacecraft have been launched from both the station and the Kennedy Space Center on adjacent Merritt Island, the two are sometimes conflated with each other. In homage to its spacefaring heritage, the Florida Public Service Commission allocated area code 321 (as in a launch countdown) to the Cape Canaveral area.Other features of the cape include the Cape Canaveral lighthouse and Port Canaveral, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. The city of Cape Canaveral lies just south of the Port Canaveral District. Mosquito Lagoon, the Indian River, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore are also features of this area.
