Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum invites visitors to climb 175 feet through Florida's tallest lighthouse, built in 1887, while exploring maritime and social history across museum exhibits and grounds. The world-famous light station, a National Historic Landmark and one of the largest best-preserved in the country, pairs the lighthouse with the Constance D. Hunter Historic Pacetti Hotel Museum, allowing visitors to tour either site separately or together. Guests choose between self-guided exploration with provided maps during normal operating hours or join public tours on scheduled dates. The museums charge published admission rates available on their website; combination tickets provide access to both historic sites. Active-duty and former armed forces members with proof of service receive a 20 percent admission discount. Located less than ten miles south of Daytona Beach in Ponce Inlet, Florida, the attraction suits history enthusiasts and families seeking educational experiences about Florida's past.
