Ponce Inlet is a peaceful and laid back beachside fishing village with an incredible beach!  The Inlet is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Intracoastal Waterway which makes it a boater’s paradise! This pristine “no drive” beach made the top 10 list by “Dr. Beach”, and it was also voted one of the safest cities in Florida. The Town of Ponce Inlet is a 5 mile long Peninsula just a few blocks wide and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River/Intracoastal Waterway offering amazing sunrises and sunsets each day!  The southern tip of Ponce Inlet features the Lighthouse and Jetty Park which is home to the tallest lighthouse in Florida, the operational Ponce de Leon Lighthouse & Museum, a National historic landmark built in 1887 and the Nation’s second tallest brick tower.  Marine life is abundant including dolphins, manatee and beautiful water foul, and water sports are unlimited!  Relax on the wide sugar sand beach or enjoy a cruise down the Halifax River/Intracoastal Waterway.   The beautiful wide sugar-sand beach of Ponce Inlet is due to a geological advantage which is a cliff a few thousand feet off shore deep in the ocean that makes the shells tumble and crush before washing up on the shoreline. The sand is so soft it is known as "sugar sand” which is actually shell dust. There’s even a dog beach and dog park for Fido!  A beachside playground awaits every resident of this elegant seaside community.
