Ponce Inlet

Ponce Inlet is a town on Florida's eastern coast in Volusia County. It sits on a narrow strip of land surrounded by water on multiple sides, with the Atlantic Ocean nearby and waterways that define its geography.

The settlement began in the 1880s and received official town status in 1963. Over the following decades, it developed from a small outpost into an established coastal community.

The Marine Science Center serves as an educational facility and rehabilitation center for sea turtles and local wildlife, advancing environmental awareness among visitors.

The town is accessible by bridge and offers water-based recreation and beach access. Visitors should expect narrow roads and limited parking due to its compact geography on a thin peninsula.

A marine science center operates within the town, dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating sea turtles and ocean wildlife. This facility draws visitors interested in learning about local conservation efforts and marine animals.
