PLEASE NOTE: The following rules apply to ALL individuals who climb the Cape St. George Light. We want to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit to our historic lighthouse.
- Children must be least 40 inches tall to climb.
- Children under the age of 13 are allowed to climb only when accompanied by an adult and meet the height requirement.
- Children must be able to climb the tower under their own power. Carrying children in the tower is prohibited.
- No candy, gum, food or drinks are allowed in the lighthouse.
- Smoking is not permitted in the lighthouse.
- Pets are not allowed in the lighthouse.
- Footwear is required to climb the lighthouse.
- Only camera equipment may be carried up the stairs. Please leave purses or bags in your vehicle.
Please know your limitations! There are 92 wooden spiral stairs to the watch room. Visitors must then proceed through a narrow 24" X 21" brick scuttle hole by way of an eight-rung metal ladder to reach the lantern room. The height of the lighthouse is 77-feet tall.
If you have any health conditions that may impact your ability to climb, please do not try it.
For your safety:
Staff has the authority to deny or allow access as deemed appropriate.
For the safety of our guests and staff, please be advised:
If lightning is detected within 10 miles of the Cape St. George Lighthouse, climbs will be temporarily suspended until the weather clears. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize safety during inclement weather.
Pets
Pets are not allowed in the Gift Shop, Museum or Lighthouse but they are invited to visit the watering hole just for our fuzzy friends.
