Photos of Jupiter Lighthouse
The Lighthouse at Dusk
Early evening is a great time to photograph the lighthouse. The changing colors i n the sky, and the sun setting behind the clouds give a great backdrop for the lighthouse. This view was taken from one of my favorite restaurants, The Crab House, right across the bay from the lighthouse.
A view in the Evening.
I love taking photos of Jupiter at night. It has some great lighting, with flood lights illuminating the lighthouse, so I'm able to capture it's red color set against the evening sky.The Jupiter Lighthouse was established just prior to the Civil War and was lit only a year when the light was put out by confederate raiders. After the war, lighthouse keeper James Armour found the lens hidden in a nearby creek. He restored the lens to its' proper place and the lens was back in operation by the end of 1866.
This lens is still in operation today and can be seen from twenty-five miles away.

A Nighttime view of Jupiter Lighthouse
I love taking photos of the lighthouse at night. The floodlights illuminate the lighthouse and bring out the red color.
Jupiter Lighthouse at Night
I found the lighthouse fascinating at night. I could see the light shining from the balcony of our condo. I often walked out on the balcony at night just to watch the light moving around. It must be a wonderful sight if you are out at sea.

Lighthouse from Jupiter Island
One evening we took a drive over to Jupiter Island. This photo shows the lighthouse as taken from the Island.
Closeup of Light
This is a closeup photo of the top of the lighthouse. It was taken with a telephoto lens one early evening right after a storm.
Visiting the Jupiter Lighthouse & Museum
Approaching the Lighthouse
The lighthouse is on Coast Guard grounds and is restricted to those that purchase the lighthouse tour. This view is one I took on the tour soon after we entered the lighthouse grounds. The Lighthouse and Museum are open every Tuesday through Sunday. You can get a wealth of good information at their website www.lrhs.org
Climbing steps to Lighthouse
On the Tour
This photo was taken on the grounds of the lighthouse. You climb a series of steps as you approach the lighthouse tower.
Where is Jupiter, Florida?
You will find Jupiter on the Atlantic coast, about 2 hours(driving time) south of Orlando and 1 hour north of Fort Lauderdale.
A vew from the Top
It was a great experience to climb the steps of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is 105 ft high and there are 112 steps to climb to the top. I am not a lover of heights, so this view is from about half way up the lighthouse.
Another View from the Top
Bent Palm
I thought the Palm bending over the water made a great shot. You get it from a unique angle when you climb up the steps of the lighthouse tower.
A Photo taken from the Water
There is a wonderful boat tour that you can take around Jupiter Island. The tour gives you information on the lighthouse and lots of information on the celebrities that live on Jupiter Island. This photo was taken while I was on the boat tour.

- Love your lens! It brings back some wonderful memories. My now-deceased ex-husband and I lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida for many years - and Jupiter was a favorite spot to visit. Dinner at The Crab House (wonderful food), with the lighthouse lit up against the night sky, a warm ocean breeze. Ahh! =) Every time we visited Jupiter we took the boat tour of Jupiter Island aboard the Manatee Queen. The captain is so entertaining! Even saw Perry Como once in his backyard! He came out to talk to us at the water's edge. Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!
