Lighthouse has new life after falling into coast

ST. GEORGE ISLAND, Fla. — Three years ago, storms toppled the 153-year-old Cape St. George Lighthouse. It collapsed on uninhabited Little St. George Island, where it had been accessible only by boat and boarded up as a safety hazard.

But now the lighthouse has been rebuilt in a location where many more people can visit and appreciate it. It reopened to the public Nov. 29, marking the end of a rescue mission that was improbable at best and thought crazy by most.

The lighthouse now sits at the end of the 4-mile bridge that connects St. George with Eastpoint on the other side of Apalachicola Bay, about 77 miles southwest of Tallahassee.
