The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a special Full Moon Lighthouse Event on Friday, March 18, 2022, from 6:00-10:00 pm in Carrabelle, FL. This special outdoor event will feature a delicious low country boil (served from 6:00-8:00 pm) followed by live music (8:00-10:00 pm). Visitors can enjoy this opportunity to see the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach under the gorgeous evening sky.
Live music will be provided by the Rio Jazz Trio playing Blues, Ballads, Bebop, and Bossanova. Guests can also visit the Museum and browse inside the Lighthouse Gift Shop for unique nautical gifts and souvenirs. Visitors can also relax next to the warm bonfire at the large fire pit (weather permitting). Bring a chair and enjoy the evening.
For this month’s special event, admission must be purchased in advance by Sunday, March 13. Admission cost is $15 for adults and $8 for children (6-16) and includes the low country boil (served from 6:00-8:00 pm), live music (from 8:00-10:00 pm), glowing bonfire at the fire pit, and museum access. Admission can be paid online at crookedriverlighthouse.com/full-moon-climb or at the Crooked River Lighthouse Gift Shop. (Climbs are not included in this price at this special full moon event.)
In addition, some guests may also choose to enjoy evening tower climbs during this event. The climb to the top of the tallest Forgotten Coast lighthouse rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the bay. Climbers must be 44” tall. Due to the popularity of the Full Moon events, a climb timeslot reservation is required in advance and can be made by calling 850-697-2732. Climbers will pay the climbing fee (adult $5, child $3) in the gift shop during the event.
A limited number of climbers (max of 7) are allowed at one time. There will be a time limit for viewing from the top. Guests who would like a more leisurely climbing experience are welcome to enjoy one of the daytime climbs available every Wednesday through Sunday. Masks are welcome but not required.
