Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, built in 1887, is located just south of Daytona Beach. The first lighthouse at the inlet was destroyed by Seminole Indians requiring this new structure to be built. |

| Looking straight up the rather harrowing 17-story spiral staircase to reach the top of the lighthouse evokes the innards of a Nautilus shell. | The light at the top with its many lenses---a classic fresnel lens. |
