The Ponce De Leon Lighthouse is the tallest in Florida and the second tallest in the U.S. It's on a nice piece of land that has several houses that you can tour, also some Cuban Refugee boats you can look at. There is also a neat little scavenger hunt you can do as you tour the inlet. The walk wasn't too bad, but was really steep. The view from the top was amazing.
