Review & FAQ:
Surf, sand, and sun are what the Ponce Inlet is all about just a few miles south of Daytona Beach. Ponce Inlet is known for having the tallest lighthouse in Florida that stands 175 feet and has just over 200 steps to traverse before reaching the top. Visitors to the Ponce Inlet can make the climb to see fantastic ocean views then explore the Marine Science Center where interactive exhibits teach families about the local history and ecosystem. Tours are available to take people deep sea fishing, manatee spotting, and more. Jet skis, canoes, and other boats can be rented from the marina or Ponce Inlet Watersports.
