A note: the tower height is blank in your facts. I’ll flag it below. Here’s the description:

Ponce de Leon Inlet Light

Rising above Florida’s Atlantic coast in Ponce Inlet, this striking red-brick lighthouse was completed in 1887 after an earlier structure was destroyed by storms. Standing [XX] feet tall, it ranks among the tallest lighthouses in the United States. The tower is no longer active and is currently closed to public access, so visitors should plan to admire it from the surrounding grounds and nearby beaches. Golden hour and early morning offer the best photography, with warm light illuminating the brick facade against coastal skies. While visiting, explore nearby New Smyrna Beach, Marine Science Center, and the Ponce Inlet waterfront, where fresh seafood and dolphin-watching round out a memorable day trip.
