💡 Sombrero Key Light

Sombrero Key Light is located offshore of Vaca Key in Marathon, Florida. The lighthouse is located on a mostly submerged reef. The name Sombrero Key goes back to the Spanish, and old charts show a small island at the spot, but by the later 19th Century the island had eroded, with some parts of the reef exposed at low tide. As a result, the reef and the lighthouse have also been called Dry Banks.
