: Ponce Inlet is only 4 miles away with its 52-acre Lighthouse Point Park with hiking nature trails, fishing, and swimming. Next to the park you can climb to the top of the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Florida. Right across the parking lot is the educational and fun kid-friendly Marine Science Center with an aquarium and sea turtle and seabird rehabilitation. Numerous restaurants on the Intracoastal Waterway provide a chance to see manatees and spectacular sunsets over the water. Within a mile is a kayak trail/canoe trail. Nearby are boat rentals, parasailing, jet ski rentals and charter fishing just to name a few activities.
