Ponce Inlet is a peninsula 5 miles south of Daytona Beach. The beach is beautiful and without all the clutter seen in Daytona. The jetty is a must for all fishermen and sightseers. Ponce Inlet strives to maintain the natural beauty of the area. Summer time brings the hatching of sea turtles along the beach. Beaches are not crowded as... More

It is a very neat place to visit. Parking can be tricky so pay attention to signs. The police were out in force writing tickets and towing people!

tourist trap and park/beach requires payment. Eat near there at 'north turn' and avoid inlet restaurants

I have been going to this lighthouse for 10 years now. I love climbing to the top to see the best view of Ponce Inlet imaginable. The grounds are well-maintained and there's a lot of educational exhibits detailing the history of the lighthouse. The staff is always very friendly. If you're in the area then you should stop in and... More

Perhaps for those that are in to lighthouses this would be interesting. However, setting out one afternoon to have an adventure, this was the chosen destination. It was really a waste of time for a Sunday afternoon. However, driving around the neighbourhood and looking at the ritzy houses was interesting.

We did it! All 203 steps with no sore legs the next day! This was a great family challenge. The views at the top satisfied the need for a reward. The homes gave us a good look into history. (^.^)

Seriously, for 5 bucks you can easily spend a morning or afternoon here. There's enough history to keep the adults entertained and enough bells and whistles and fun stuff for the kids. Plus, there's the Lighthouse itself. The climb is not for the faint of heart but going on a pretty day makes or breaks the experience IMHO. Plus, there's... More

Area is nice but handicapped individuals not climb stairs in lighthouse or acess the waterfront. Memorial for veterans was nice.
