One of the tallest lighthouses in the USA at Daytona beach, Fl.
The tallest lighthouse in Florida is 175 feet tall and was completed on November 1, 1887. The Lighthouse complex has all been restored and is one of the best in America. They have a wonderful collection of Fresnel Lens including the original First Order for Ponce Inlet.
An interesting historical landmark. The museum provided a lot of information about construction of the lighthouse and the people who lived here.


Ponce de Leon Lighthouse and Museum was designed to help guide sailors through stormy waters. Still a significant local landmark today, it's bound to have a few tales to tell about sailing successes and tragedies.

When you've finished up at this Ponce Inlet longstanding beacon, why not check out New Smyrna Beach, Flagler Avenue Park, and Sunglow Pier? They're not far from Ponce de Leon Lighthouse and Museum and also a hit with travelers.
