"What started out as a primitive watchtower erected by the Spanish to intercept enemy vessels approaching Anastasia Island, became the site of the St. Augustine Lighthouse. The lighthouse has undergone much throughout its tumultuous history, changing hands from Spanish, British, to, eventually, American rule in 1867. Beginning with the onsite maritime museum with its massive collection of 19,000 objects, archival documents and archaeological specimens, there is no shortage of Instagrammable content to capture here."

"Like so many other sites in St. Augustine, the Lighthouse is a cherished landmark from another era. It’s significant for two main reasons—first because of its role as a vital watchtower that led ships safely into the St. Augustine port for more than a hundred years and second because of its longstanding survival as an architectural icon to the city. The original lighthouse was closed in 1874 on the same day that the new one was completed."

"The St. Augustine Light Station is an active lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida. The current lighthouse stands at the north end of Anastasia Island and was built in 1874; it is the most recent of a number of towers built in the area."

"This park was established by Mrs. Abla Balis in memory of her husband Sheffield Balis in 1988 who believed that the best way to honor her husband is by creating a public park for people to enjoy.
