January Sunset and Full Moon Climb at Cape St. George Lighthouse

January 17, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

  • « Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration
  • Wednesday Farmers Market »

The January Sunset and Full Moon Climb at the Cape St. George Lighthouse on St. George Island will be held on Monday, January 17, 2022. Visitors can enjoy this opportunity to view St. George Island, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Apalachicola Bay under the evening sky.

The Sunset and Full Moon Climb will begin at 5:30 p.m. and run until 7:30 p.m. Fifteen-minute time slots will be allotted for each group on a first-come, first-served basis. No advanced reservations will be taken. You will purchase your tickets in the gift shop and then sign up for your 15-minute time slot with the lighthouse keeper. Up to 12 persons are allowed in each 15-minute time slot. The gift shop will open at 5:00 pm to begin selling tickets.

Cost is $10.00 per climber for the general public and $7.00 for members of the St. George Lighthouse Association. Cash or credit card payments accepted. All climbers must be at least 40 inches tall to climb the tower and children must be age 13 and over to access the outside catwalk. For more information, please contact the Lighthouse Gift Shop at 850-927-7745.

The sun will set at 6:04 p.m. and the “Wolf” moon will rise at 5:50 p.m. on January 17. The January full moon is called the Wolf Moon because wolves often hunt at night and the howling of wolves could be heard outside Indian villages. As such, their howling became associated with nightfall and particularly, the moon amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter. Thus, the name for January’s full moon. Full Moon names are attributable to native American tribes, most notably the Algonquin, who named the moons to mark the changing seasons.

The Cape St. George Light is located in St. George Lighthouse Park at the center of St. George Island, where Island Drive (the road off the bridge) ends at Gulf Beach Drive. Parking is available in lots at either side of the park.
