The only way to get to Anclote Keys is by boat. This tour was photographed in 1988, well after the lighthouse had been abandoned. Hopefully, vandals haven't caused to much additional damage since then. Some of the photographs have been scanned in color. Please check back here at a future date and perhaps you'll see a tour in color.
All links are to jpeg photographs.
A distant view of the southern end of Anclote Key and the lighthouse. This exterior view of the top of the lighthouse shows some of the results of years of vandalism. Window frames are gone, not a speck of glass is left and even the door at the top of the tower is gone. These concrete pilings and a few brick foundations are all that is left of the two keeper's dwellings and water tanks that once stood at the base of the tower. The walls of the brick oil house are still standing.
