Sanibel Island Lighthouse, Florida

This lighthouse, first lit in 1884, marks the entrance to San Carlos Bay on Sanibel Island.  It was constructed of iron positioned on an iron pile 98 feet tall.  It is 102 feet above sea level.  Illumination is provided by a third-order Fresnel lens and consists of two paired flashes every 10 seconds.   It was automated in 1949.
