I will never stop to be amazed by the beauty of the life, by gorgeous nature around us. Don't take it for granted, explore, look around and enjoy the beauty of this world!
I'm lucky to find myself living in one of the most beautiful places in the world, surrounded by oceans and warmth of all-year-long summer - Florida! This place is the heart of tourism, millions of people from all the countries come here every year long to enjoy the beaches of Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, to have fun at world famous parks like Disney, Universal Studious, Sea World, Aquatica, to do some shopping at biggest malls and outlets and so on.
I want to share my experience of visiting one of the historical places which will charm you with it's peaceful nature and beautiful architecture. This year I've visited Ponce de Leon Lighthouse - the tallest lighthouse of Florida and one of the tallest lighthouses in the country!
You might get more information about the lighthouse and it's location on the website:
For only $5.00 you are allowed to walk around and take a look at all the interesting things on the property.
I wasn't really interested in the group tours, so me and my husband were exploring everything by ourselves. You can walk through the houses where lighthouse keepers were living, you can see the remains of the boats and anchors, and if you are interested in history, you can dig more information around, you can read all the stories and interesting facts written on the boards all over the place.
You can also visit the small museum of lighthouse lights, you can find there all kinds of lights starting from 1800s. It's pretty cool, especially if you want to make some futuristic looking photos :)
And finally the best part - you can climb all the way to the top of the lighthouse!
That's where the fun begins, you will have 203 steps of 175ft tower ahead of you. But trust me, this mini workout totally worth the beautiful view you will see from the top! And even going up is pretty fun, the stairs are old and unusual, so you can take photos and read interesting facts on the walls through all the way up.
And than finally you will be on the top of the lighthouse, so just enjoy the view on the beautiful beach and the rest of Ponce de Leon Inlet.
It feels great, the wind in my hair made me feel free and alive, and in the same time I felt so relaxed and calm, because it's so quiet and peaceful here.
And after that fun continues - you still need to go back, so the same 203 steps are still ahead of you!
After you make your way downstairs, you can continue to walk around the lighthouse property or you can have a little drive and spend the rest of your day on the beach.
For me Lighthouse is the symbol of hope and new beginnings, the lost ships were saved by it's light, it leads sailors home. So it was very inspiring and exciting to be there and get all the way on the top, to breath the fresh salty air and just feel free!
Travel and explore new places and emotions!
