Benal58, No there is not although we do have an wheel chair lift in our lens exhibit building that will take you up to the second floor observation platform where a mural of the south facing view from the top of the lighthouse is located to provide those with disabilities the opportunity to see what the view is like from the top of the tower. The only lighthouse in the country with an elevator is the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse which is located on the north side of entrance to Charleston Harbor, SC. Unlike the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse which was first activated on November 1, 1887, the Sullivan Island Lighthouse was completed in the 1962, making it one of the nation's most modern lighthouses. Although it has an elevator, Sullivan's Island Lighthouse is not open to the public.
