The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse is located within Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which requires valid base credentials. For non-cleared visitors, Canaveral Tours will coordinate security clearance—complete the required forms and submit identification documents at least 14 days prior to your tour date.
Active CCSFS badge holders may visit independently during public open house hours (Wednesdays, 10 AM–1 PM). Retired military personnel without current clearance and foreign nationals are not eligible for independent visits. Lighthouse Foundation members should refer to CanaveralLight.org for membership benefits and exclusive access opportunities.
Only individuals with active CCSFS installation privileges may operate vehicles on the station. Military ID alone does not grant access. If you are not badge-cleared for CCSFS, you may visit Patrick Space Force Base but will not have access to the lighthouse grounds.
The lighthouse tour involves ascending five interior levels via a spiral stairwell. Weather permitting, visitors exit via an exterior staircase at the third-floor viewing platform. Guests should be in reasonable physical condition and able to navigate narrow steps safely.
Minimum guest height is 48". Closed-toe footwear with secure heel straps is mandatory; sandals, flip-flops, and high heels are prohibited for safety reasons.
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents must submit the following for each participant at least two weeks before the tour date:
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Driver’s license number and issuing state
- Last four digits of Social Security Number
Minors (under 18) require only name and date of birth and must be accompanied by an adult. Sponsored foreign visitors and visa holders are not eligible for station clearance.
All visitors must present a government-issued photo ID and sign a standard station hold-harmless agreement on the day of the tour. Failure to provide complete security information may result in tour cancellation without refund.
