This view of the Hillsboro Lighthouse is from the Eastward ride from the Intracoastal to the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida. During the morning, the sun replaces the Lighthouse’s beacon to show the way. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergTours of the Hillsboro Lighthouse are limited to a few times a year. Managed by the U.S. Coast Guard, it is usually off limits to tourists. Read here about its history and to learn about the tours. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergThe cottages around the Hillsboro Lighthouse are vacation rentals for the miliary. This courtyard pays homage to those who have served. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergWhile visiting this area you will learn about the BarefootMailmen who walked eighty miles barefoot along the beach to deliver mail to Miami before the railroads were built. Quite a perilous adventure. Read this story here.Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergThe inlet by the Hillsboro Lighthouse is regularly dredged to keep it deep enough for ship passage. There is plenty of space for long beach walks and climbing on the boulders (to help keep the channel open). Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergView from the Atlantic towards the Lighthouse. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergWalking up the 175 steps to the top balcony of the Hillsboro Lighthouse is allowed during the tours. I preferred the view from land that morning, and my knees thanked me. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg1Muscles clinging to the rocks are evidence of higher tide lines.

Thanks Mrs. Pam
Have a great weekend!
Lovely lighthouse
It’s always fun to visit it when they open it up; which is rarely.
