Jupiter Inlet Light

Robert E. Lee surveyed the site for the 125-foot Jupiter Inlet Light, located on a coastal bluff just north of FPL Group's corporate offices in Juno Beach. Built in 1860, the Jupiter Light stood just one year before Confederate raiders removed its lamp and Fresnel lens. After the war, keeper James Armour found the lens hidden in a nearby creek and restored it to service. That lens remains in use today, its light visible from 25 miles at sea.
