Overview
Volunteer at the top of our Lighthouse Tower for the best view in town!
Our Tower Docents work 3 or 4 hour shifts at the top of our Lighthouse. Your time will be spent engaging with guests, answering questions about our site and its history, and ensuring that guests are following safety regulations. Plus, you'll enjoy views of the emerald waters of Pensacola Bay, the historic Fort Barrancas and Fort Pickens, and on certain days, the practice flights of the Blue Angels!
