Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse
Made a nice little stop at Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.
The Ponce de Leon Inlet Light is a lighthouse and museum located at Ponce de León Inlet in Central Florida. At 175 feet (53 m) in height, it is the tallest lighthouse in the state and one of the tallest in the United States.
n 1982 the light was restored to active service, primarily because highrise buildings blocked the Coast Guard's beacon on the other side of the inlet. The Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station was designated a National Historic Landmark on August 5, 1998] one of only eleven lighthouses to earn this designation.
The lighthouse and three keepers' dwellings have been restored, and are open to the public seven days a week. The lighthouse tower is open for climbing.
The tower operates today as a private aid to navigation and is maintained by the museum staff. It is just south of Daytona Beach.

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse (Florida's Tallest) Historic Tour
In this video, we tour the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998. The lighthouse tower and museum are located 10 miles south of Daytona Beach and are open to the public year-round.
The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the second tallest masonry lighthouse in the country second only to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
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.
The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse began as the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse with the purchase of ten acres of land on March 21, 1883. The lighthouse tower design was based on Light-House Board standard plans with modifications made for the specific site. The lantern room was based on the design used at Florida's Fowey Rocks Lighthouse.

The inlet where the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse stands today has long been known as one of the most treacherous in the southeast. Since 1565, when the entire French fleet of Admiral Jean Ribault was wrecked by a hurricane in the vicinity of this Inlet, many ships have been lost here. The Inlet was explored by Captain Antonio de Prado in 1569 and named Los Mosquitos because of the large number of insects. Captain Álvaro Mexía charted the inlet in 1605, but, except for the planting of a few orange groves, the Spanish never settled the area.
When Great Britain gained the Province of Florida in 1763, plantations were settled in this area, and commerce became so great that the colonial government maintained a beacon or daymark at the entrance to Mosquito Inlet. Spain regained the colony in 1784, but the plantations languished.
After Florida passed to the control of the United States in 1821, the plantations revived, and the need for a lighthouse at this dangerous inlet was recognized as early as 1822. However, it was not until June 30, 1834, that Congress appropriated $11,000 for the construction of the lighthouse.
John Rodman, Collector of Customs for St. Augustine, chose a site on a 12-foot high dune on the south side of the Inlet. Winslow Lewis was selected to oversee construction of the forty-five-foot tall brick tower and the installation of the tower's 15 Winslow Lewis reflector lamps. Construction of the new tower was completed in February 1835, at a cost of $7,494. William H. Williams, a long-time Florida resident, and step-son of prominent plantation owner Joseph Hernandez, was selected as Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse's first keeper. Although moving into the light station's keeper's quarters with his family in 1835, oil for the lighthouse never arrived, and the Williams was never able to light the lamps. He removed their silver reflectors and stored them in a trunk in the keeper's house.
In October 1835, a hurricane struck, washing away the keeper's quarters and undermining the foundations of the lighthouse enough to cause it to lean. The trunk holding the lamp reflectors was lost in the storm. Keeper Williams and his family abandoned the area and moved back to his stepfather's plantation. Two months later, Seminole Indian attacks throughout north Florida signaled the start of the Second Seminole War. In December 1835, a Seminole war party under the leadership of Coacoochee (also known as the Wildcat) attacked homes and settlements along the Halifax and Indian River, including the damaged Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse.
The Seminoles may have discovered some of the lighthouse lamp reflectors which probably washed up on a nearby shore. Three weeks after the attack on the Lighthouse, members of the Mosquito Roarers (one of several Florida militias formed in the early days of the Second Seminole War) reported seeing Coácoochee wearing one of the lamp reflectors as a headdress during the Battle of Dunlawton. Much to the white population's dismay, the Seminoles won the battle, and the area' s white population was forced to abandon the Mosquito Inlet area under fear of death. Unable to repair the leaning lighthouse due to the Native American uprising, the damaged Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse finally toppled into the sea in April 1836. It would take more than 50 years for the government to decide to construct the present lighthouse at Mosquito Inlet.

Ponce de Leon light house
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel ( Nick, Regan, Maggie, and Kate climbed to the top of the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse in Daytona, Florida. Located on the Ponce de Leon Inlet, this Daytona lighthouse is the second tallest lighthouse in the United States. We took one of the self-guided lighthouse tours, which climbs 175 feet and has a great lighthouse view for miles, including what was once called the Mosquito Inlet. We saw the living quarters of the lighthouse keeper, but we especially enjoyed the lighthouse museum, which had lenses and maps and other memorabilia from the lighthouse history. The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse made for a beautiful visit to Daytona, and we recommend it to all travelers to the Florida coast.
