BIPS offers a haunted climb to the top of the Gasparilla Island Lighthouse. Check in at the lighthouse on the day of the climbs to secure a spot, since capacity is limited and can fill quickly. Climbs run every 20 minutes as space allows, and all activities are weather dependent. Advance reservations are not accepted. Make the ascent of 134 spiral steps to reach the lantern room for wide-reaching views. Explore 7.4 acres of BIPS nature trails and browse unique merchandise, with proceeds from climb fees and purchases supporting BIPS historic lighthouses. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12, and climbers must be at least 48 inches tall. For safety, participants must be able to handle all 134 steps, babies are not permitted inside, and sensible footwear is required because heels and flip flops are not allowed. Large backpacks and purses cannot be carried inside. Commercial photography and drones are prohibited. Clothing must be dry, and swimwear must be covered. Public parking is available in the state park lot on the north side of the lighthouse.
