The Anclote Keys Light was a lighthouse built in 1887 on Anclote Key the largest of the Anclote Keys. It is a skeletal square pyramidal tower painted brown with a black lantern. After the lighthouse was automated in 1952 the tower and other buildings at the site were often vandalized interfering with the operation of the light. The Coast Guard determined that the light was no longer needed and deactivated in 1984.
