Moved in 2014 from Cape San Blas, the lighthouse and accompanying keepers quarters are now in George Core Park, near the Gulf County Welcome Center.
The Cape San Blas Light is a lighthouse in the state of Florida in the United States. Four different structures were built between 1849 and 1885 to house the light. It was located at Cape San Blas in the northwestern part of the state. Due to beach erosion and weather damage over the decades, the final structure was moved multiple times, including to Port St. Joe in 2014. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
