What time is it in Pace, Florida?

Most of Florida is on Eastern Daylight Time, but Pace keeps Central Daylight Time — 1 hour behind the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.

Pace is currently on daylight saving time. The next change is Sunday, November 1, 2026, when 2:00 am becomes 1:00 am local time.

Pace sits at 30.62°N, 87.16°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Pace.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Central Daylight Time, but the sun does not. Over Pace it is highest at 12:40 pm today — 40 minutes after clock noon.

A time zone is fifteen degrees of longitude wide, so a city near its eastern edge sees the sun peak well before noon by the clock and one near the western edge well after. Pace sits at 87.2°W, comfortably inside its zone. Daylight saving adds another hour on top of that until the clocks change.
