PONCE INLET LIGHTHOUSE ASSOCIATION

Summertime is always active at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse as travelers flock to the greater Daytona Beach area from far and wide in search of sunshine and sparkling beaches. The museum’s staff looks forward to welcoming these summertime revelers in the months to come as people begin to venture out once again in search of family fun and memorable experiences.  

With the transmission of COVID-19 on the decline, the Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association has adjusted its onsite safety requirements to reflect current CDC recommendations, including those related to PPE. Although the wearing of masks is only required indoors by those who have not been vaccinated, the museum asks that all visitors continue to social distance whenever possible. Please visit the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse website at www.ponceinlet.org for the most up-to-date information regarding onsite COVID-19 safety requirements.  

As the threat of COVID-19 continues to decline, the Preservation Association is pleased to announce the reinstatement of many of the museum’s onsite educational offerings which were temporarily suspended during the worst of the pandemic. All buildings and exhibits have been reopened to the public and onsite workshops and activities will once again be offered to museum guests on specific dates throughout the year. I invite you to refer to the Calendar of Events on page six for more information. We hope to see you soon! 

Climb to the Moon

Treat your significant other, family, friends, coworkers, or simply yourself to breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, World’s Most Famous Beach, Ponce Inlet, and inland waterways under the golden glow of the setting sun. View the full moon as it rises above the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy panoramic vistas of the Florida coast by moonlight. Join the old lighthouse keeper as he leads you on your journey into the past, and discover what it was like to live and work at the Ponce Inlet Light Station long ago. 

Climb to the Moon is offered once a month on the night of the full moon. Ticket availability for each scheduled 1.5 hour event is limited to only 30 guests and typically sells out quickly. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are sold on a first come first serve basis. Please contact the museum’s administrative assistant by phone at (386) 761-1821 ext. 10 or via email at admin@ponceinlet.org for additional information. Prices are $35 for non-members and $30 for members.

PONCE INLET VETERANS MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

The Ponce Inlet Veterans Memorial Association wants to thank all of you who stopped by and paid their respects on Memorial Day.  We extend our sincere appreciation to our Ponce Inlet residents who honor those who serve or have served in the United States armed forces.

The Association would like to extend an invitation to all local veterans and those who are still serving on active duty to join us.  The Association is a non-profit 501c(19) organization and our mission is to maintain our Memorial and promote veterans activities in our community.  Dues are $20 per year and meetings are held at the Ponce Inlet Community Center at 7:00 PM on the second Tuesday each month, except during the summer.  Contact Jim Hinson at 386-760-5448 for additional information or to obtain a membership form.

On Thursday, November 11, 2021 at 10:00 AM the Association will celebrate Veterans Day with a ceremony at the Memorial at Davies Lighthouse Park.  We look forward to this as we have not been able to have any ceremonies recently because of the pandemic.  Put this date on your calendar and we hope you can join us for this special event.
