Shopping

Museum Gift Shop

The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse gift shop is named in honor of the Preservation Association’s founding members and the museum’s first Executive Director Ann Caneer. Although it’s a modern building, the gift shop’s architecture may look right at home next to the 1887 buildings.  That’s because it was derived from a set of plans drawn in 1885 for a two-story two-family keeper dwelling that was originally planned for the Mosquito (now Ponce De Leon) Inlet Light Station but never built. 

Lighthouse and Pacetti Hotel Museum visitors will find a wide selection of lighthouse souvenirs and nautical-themed merchandise within this modern gift shop for young and old alike including jewelry, glassware, clothing, books, games, educational toys, and much, much more. If it’s lighthouse-related, it’s here! Accepted payment options include cash, debit card, Visa, and Mastercard.
