Cape Canaveral Lighthouse

Cape Canaveral Lighthouse is an active aid to navigation inside Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, owned by the U.S. Space Force and maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Authorized tours give visitors access to the lighthouse, museum, and gift shop; advance reservations at least four days are required and visits are subject to availability and launch-related delay or cancellation. The site is on an active military installation: visitors cannot drive onto the station independently. The operator currently states that only U.S. citizens and U.S. legal permanent residents may visit, and the lighthouse itself is not wheelchair accessible; confirm current eligibility, tour arrangements, identification requirements, weather, and accessibility before travel. Selected tours may also include Hangar C and historic launch sites.
