St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest location in the United States that had a navigational aid for sailors. In the 1500s, the Spanish placed the first maritime watchtower on the East Coast. By 1824, a permanent lighthouse was erected, which was later replaced by a new lighthouse, located further from the shoreline.
The lighthouse from where this photo was taken dates back to 1874 and give a magnificent 360 degree view of the area.
