The Crooked River Lighthouse in Carrabelle is hosting a Full Moon & Sunset Lighthouse Climb on Monday, November 11 from 5-8 pm in Carrabelle, FL. Visitors can climb to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast, Crooked River Lighthouse, to see breathtaking views of the bay under the glow of the sunset and the rising full moon.

The Crooked River Lighthouse will also be honoring military veterans this Veterans Day. The Lighthouse will be open with special hours, 12-8 pm on Nov 11. All veterans are invited to tour the museum and climb the tower free all day.

The Lighthouse will have exciting live music with the return of the very popular Afro-Cuban drumming by Master Yazid along with several of his fellow drummers, who are the newly named “Cinco Mas Cervezas”. Yazid Johnson has played in professional orchestras, is a jazz musician, has performed at the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and for former presidents and has been an instructor and leader for the FSU African Drumming Ensemble.

Enjoy the opportunity to see the gorgeous natural surroundings of the St. George Sound, Carrabelle Beach, and Dog Island under the night sky while listening to the sounds of Afro-Cuban drumming with this special Crooked River Lighthouse evening climb. Guests can also enjoy s'mores around the new fire pit. Cost for the Full Moon Climb event is $8 and free for military veterans. The museum and gift shop will also be open.
