Fort Barrancas & Advanced Redoubt
LANDMARK
Taylor Rd; 8:30am-3:45pm Nov-Feb, 9:30am-4:45pm Mar-Oct)
On a dramatic bluff overlooking Pensacola Bay, 19th-century Fort Barrancas was built by
slaves atop an abandoned 18th-century Spanish fort. The fort, now part of the National
Park Service, has endless dark passageways to explore but not much in the way of dis-
plays. A half-mile away via a walking trail lie the ruins of Advanced Redoubt, a Civil
War-era fort.
Tours
operate on Saturday only, at 2pm for Barrancas and 11am for Ad-
vanced Redoubt.
Pensacola Lighthouse
LIGHTHOUSE
child $6/4; 10am-5:30pm Mon-Sat, from noon Sun)
Be on the lookout for ghosts of lighthouse-keepers past as you climb the 177 steps of this
160ft, 1859 lighthouse, rumored to be haunted. The views are quite stunning, as you might
expect. If you're afraid of heights, you can hang back and take a look at the adjacent mu-
seum.
