Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse is the tallest in Florida and the second tallest in the nation. There are 203 steps to the top for breathtaking views of the Florida coastline and the Halifax River from Daytona Beach to New Smyrna Beach. See the restored third order Fresnel lens turn and shine in the Lantern Room. This National Historic Landmark is one of the few light stations in the country with all the original keepers' dwellings and outbuildings still intact. Step inside the white picket fence and discover what life was like on a remote Florida peninsula in the 1800s, and marvel at the courage of the lighthouse keepers and their families.
