The Atlantic side has most of the towers with a town attached: Jupiter Inlet Light (1860) is 2 km from Jupiter, Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse (1887) 6 km from New Smyrna Beach, Cape Florida Light 11 km from Coconut Grove. Saint Augustine Lighthouse and Amelia Island Light cover the northeast. On the Gulf, Pensacola Lighthouse is 8 km from Myrtle Grove, Sanibel Lighthouse 9 km from Iona, and Boca Grande Lighthouse is reached from Punta Gorda Isles.
RLQuest knows 27 named lighthouses in Florida, 16 of them with a Wikipedia article. Flat coast, tall tower: you see the target long before you reach it, but the app does not take the view as proof. The quest closes when your recorded route arrives, and the beach tiles fill in behind you.
Every dot is a place. The numbers mark the highlights listed below.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
