Ponce De Leon Lighthouse in Ponce Inlet, Florida, is in a unique location for a navigational aid — it's not right on the shore. It doesn't need to be; at 175 feet, it's the tallest lighthouse in Florida, and the second tallest in the United States, topped only by Cape Hatteras Light in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Ponce De Leon's beam can be seen 19 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean.
