CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE!
Bring your camera and get ready to climb 203 steps to the main gallery for a spectacular view of Ponce Inlet, Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach! The 2nd tallest lighthouse in the United States at 175 feet tall, the lighthouse recently was designated a National Historic Landmark. The first Mayor of Ponce Inlet, Ayres Davies fought hard for the town to take control of the Lighthouse and the grounds. Current plans had called for a destruction of the adjoining buildings and the Lighthouse would be closed to the public. Self-guided tours of the Lighthouse and its museum are available to the visiting public.
RIDE THE LOOP
If you haven’t taken The Loop yet, I recommend it highly. It’s like no other ride; whether by bicycle, car or motorcycle one can enjoy its freedom, sunshine, open road and graceful curves. This leisurely ride will give you a feel for Florida’s natural beauty. Check out Ormond Park and the Fairchild Oak Tree – one of Florida’s oldest living Oaks. Bring your camera, maybe a boxed lunch and enjoy. The Loop is approximately 22 miles long and a must for riders who enjoy an open road and Florida’s natural beauty. The Loop begins with a northerly trek at the foot of the Granada Bridge on John Anderson Drive in Ormond Beach.
