The Tampa Bay Watch lighthouse was modeled after the Boca Grande light and embodies traditional Florida coastal architecture. The lighthouse, which rises 74 feet into the air, is the first privately-held aid to navigation permitted by the United States Coast Guard in Florida in the past 54 years. The light emits a ¼ second flash every four seconds, casting its beam across the mouth of Tampa Bay and guiding boaters through our local waterways.
