Port Isabel Lighthouse

I've never been to the Port Isabel Lighthouse.

Built in the late 1800's to help seaman navigate the coast of South Texas, it soon fell into disrepair and during the Depression it was difficult to maintain. It has since been reconstructed and turned into a historical site. The cottage is a replica of the keeper's cottage and now houses the Chamber of Commerce. There is a picnic area and it has become a favorite of photographers. Even a few couples had ascended the lighthouse stairs to exchange vows.

That I'd like to see.
