Rob Dixon is a longtime boat captain and open water swimmer based in Islamorada. He is also one of the leading voices in efforts to preserve the island’s iconic Alligator Reef Lighthouse.

Alligator Reef Lighthouse is named for the U.S. Navy schooner Alligator, which was launched in 1820 to suppress the slave trade as well as pirate activity. The Alligator would run aground on what is now known as Alligator Reef in 1822.The lighthouse was established on that very same reef in 1873, standing 136 feet above the water. The cost of construction at the time was $185,000. In 2021, under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, the lighthouse was deeded to Friends of the Pool, Inc., a nonprofit of which Captain Rob is Executive Director. Join him as he shares the story of Alligator Reef Lighthouse and the efforts to preserve this iconic structure.
