HLPS members have installed signs at 18 points of interests at this U.S. Coast Guard Light station. You may take the walking tour on your own or go with a guide who may have answers to your questions. You will probably want to climb the tower and enjoy the spectacular view from the Observation Deck. Back at ground level story tellers will share stories about life at the light station, Keepers, and their families that lived there. Over at the Barefoot Mailman Statue, a local re-enactor of those barefoot troopers, will have his historic stories of how “he” walked up and down the beach from West Palm to the Miami River six days a week with his precious mail pouch to deliver news to the sparsely populated outposts. Kids (both young and old) can ask about the weekly 68 mile journey 40 miles walking and 28 miles by boat.
