Description
I almost visited Daytona Beach without seeing the lighthouse! I was in Daytona for other reasons, not even thinking of lighthouses, when I saw some establishment with the word 'lighhouse' in its name. I immediately had to check online to find out where it was and make a quick visit before flying home. Unfortunately it wasn't open at the time of my visit so I had to content myself with some photos from behind the fence. But....the early morning light was worth it! This is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and one of the tallest masonry lighthouses in the country. Visitors can climb 203 steps to the top of the 175 foot tower and enjoy magnificent views of the "World's Most Famous Beach", Ponce Inlet, and surrounding inland waterways from the lighthouse gallery deck. I'm sorry I missed that climb. Maybe next time. The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse is located 10 miles south of Daytona Beach in the Town of Ponce Inlet and situated on the north bank of Ponce Inlet where the Halifax and Indian Rivers flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998.
