Ponce
Inlet
7 Square Miles
The Town of Ponce Inlet is located on the southern tip of the peninsula, south of Daytona
Beach and Daytona Beach Shores. The Ponce DeLeon Lighthouse, constructed more than 100
years ago, remained in service until 1970. Since restoration as an historic monument and
museum, the lighthouse still marks the entrance to the inland waterways through Ponce
Inlet.
Several marinas are located in Ponce Inlet, which
is considered as one of the area’s prime fishing spots. The area is prized by
residents for its relaxed lifestyle and natural, uncrowded beaches.
