    This place is truly at the heart of what the forgotten coast is all about. This little place here…read moreon our gorgeous, forgotten coast is dedicated to so many invaluable missions when it comes to taking care of and preserving land as well as the creatures that dwell here whether they be on the land, in the sea or most comfortable in the air. It's very clear that everybody working here has such a heart and a passion for the reptiles, marine life, animals, birds, that they help in represent here in the community. This annual fundraiser for Gulf Specimen Marine Lab is such a fun way for all of us to try to drum up awareness & support for the mission here while getting to have a wonderful time playing dress up & bidding on really cool things at the silent auction. This year alone in our area they helped take care of hundreds of stunned sea turtles when the weather got well below what it typically is persistently for this area and that mission alone is more than worth heading over for a visit getting to learn about the wildlife in this area and supporting their endeavors! Not to mention the fact that there are so many, very interactive ways for both adults and kids to be entertained here while learning about our local wildlife & conservation!

    So cool! They had so many animals to touch and see. Great for my kids age 10 and 13 years old as…read morewell.

    Attended a showing of a documentary involving a local hero - Purple Heart recipient Colonel…read moreWashington Sanchez, Jr. Great turnout of folks, good conversations, well-done piece of work. The IMAX staff was wonderful; very accommodating. It has been quite a number of years since I last visited the IMAX Theater to catch a show. I didn't remember how cramped the seating was :o), though the seats themselves are comfortable. Once seated, best to stay seated until the show is over; otherwise, it will be quite a task to get out, especially if one is seated in the middle of the row and the row is completely filled. All in all though, aside from the tiny inconvenience regarding the lack of space between seat rows, I think everyone pretty much enjoyed the show and the setting. Note, the documentary is on Youtube as well! I also want to give a "shout out" to Mission BBQ for providing a complimentary meal for those attending the documentary. The food was delicious; the meal consisted of: coleslaw, baked beans with brisket, mac and cheese, sausage, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, buns - along with tea (sweet and non-sweet), lemonade, and water! Thanks so much Mission BBQ!

    Mid-sized IMAX screen, sufficient and comfortable seating, smallish concession stand…read more All in all, just the right size for our population. I've never been to a sold-out event here and, frankly, I often forget this is an option. That said, it's the best screen in the county - and if you're really looking for the larger-than-life experience, this screen yields a beautiful IMAX experience. It's no Warren Theaters IMAX - but then again - there's only one of those (in Wichita, not in NYC!).

And there is engineering to help the lighthouse survive the severe weather that happens often on the coastline. I arrived during hours when the lighthouse shop was closed but there's still some stuff to see outside. It's a nice park setting with parking, some picnic shelters and even a playground. The Crooked River Light was built in 1895 and replaced three separate lighthouses on Dog Island that were destroyed by storms. The lighthouse was painted in its current color scheme in 1901, the lower half white and the upper half red with a black lantern room. This lighthouse is currently active with an acrylic glass at the top that is a replica of the original Fresnel lens. I have recently taken to collecting lighthouses along my travels, keeping them in a Yelp collection at https://www.yelp.com/collection/GLWJhPZloUBCLUFSYgLw4g. This is worth a stop as you drive the Forgotten Coast. [Review 14668 overall, 168 of 2021, number 1234 in Florida.]

A replica of the lighthouse keeper's house serves as a museum and gift shop. There's also a small playground, picnic area and you can find the trail head of the Carabelle Beach bike trail here. You can climb the 128 steep steps to the top for a stunning view of the coast and surrounding forest. Tower climbs are $5 per person, and are usually available Wednesday through Saturday. If you enjoy lighthouses, this is well worth a look!
