Cape St. George Light on Little St. George Island: Built in 1852, this 153-year-old veteran of hurricanes, wars, and erosion collapsed on Oct. 21, 2005, but was rebuilt and opened to the public in 2008.
Cape Florida Lighthouse at the end of Key Biscayne in Miami: Originally built in 1825 and reconstructed in 1846, this is the oldest structure in Miami Dade County.
