Did you know that the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association is one of the few lighthouse preservation groups in the country that is totally self-sufficient? It’s true! The Association currently receives zero tax-derived support at the local, state, or federal level. Funding for the museum’s ongoing preservation, restoration, and educational efforts is generated entirely in-house through private donations, annual membership dues, and merchandise and admission sales.

The Lighthouse and Museum is open daily to the public at 10:00 am with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The cost of general admission provides visitors full access to the historic light station and museum including the tower. Please Note: Minors must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone over 18 years of age.
