AD6445: JUPITER INLET LH 1934 (NGS, Jupiter, FL) - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This station, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, is an intersecting type, using adjusted horizontal coordinates measured at the top center of the lighthouse.

Although published in 1934, the NGS datasheet description from 1967 and 1970 gives the best report:

PAINTED RED WITH A BLACK TOP. THE RECOVERY NOTE FOR JUPITER
INLET LIGHTHOUSE ECC IS ADEQUATE FOR THE RECOVERY OF THIS STATION.

AIRLINE DISTANCE AND DIRECTION FROM NEAREST TOWN

NGS recovery note from 1970:

The lighthouse is obviously easy to spot, and is accessible to the public from U.S. Route 1 / FL S.R. A1A. It is also very popular with the Geocaching community. When you visit this benchmark, please consider logging both on Geocaching and this site. Thank you.
