We didn't see any.

September is a bit early....the festival celebrating their migration is at the end of October but.....there are always butterflies and I saw a monarch there last weekend. Good luck!

No, access to the tower is not permitted.

The visitors center is handicap accessible, you can get out at the Lighthouse but I don't think they have a ramp going up to it. Like the other person suggested, contact the visitors center at 850-925-6121. I think they are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Daylight savings time.

We went down first day it opened back up. Yes the whole shoreline walk had changed. Lots of down trees of debris but the lighthouse faired well. Just broken staircase fencing. But it is all in the beauty and it is so beautiful there. Enjoy!!

There is an entry fee that I believe was about $5 per car. We are seniors so there was no discount that I saw that would allow you to get in free.

Keep in mind, you are in alligator territory. They move fast, and they like dogs. To eat. I recommend leaving the dog at home.

Just about anywhere! Do. No. Bring. Your. Dog. Often you will see them in shallows and in narrow lagoons by the lighthouse. We once saw one sunning about 12 feet from our car, parked by the side of the room.

I think there is, and a wonderful fish camp where you can rent cabins nearby.

I don't believe so but a ride from the entrance down to the light house is scenic with a number of places to stop and there are a few viewing platforms on the side of the road.
