ABOUT DAYTONA BEACH

Situated on Florida’s Atlantic shoreline, Daytona Beach is a dynamic city that blends high-octane motorsport heritage with laid-back coastal charm.

Aside from the roar of engines, Daytona Beach is equally famous for its expansive, hard-packed sands. These beaches are unique in that you can drive right on them, offering a blend of convenience and novelty for visitors. From surfing and fishing to beach volleyball and sunbathing, there’s plenty to enjoy along the coast.

The city offers far more than just racing and waves. Families and tourists flock to the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, where classic arcades, amusement rides, and quirky shops bring nostalgic fun to life. Daytona Lagoon, located nearby, is a lively water park complete with slides, a lazy river, and mini-golf – a favourite for kids and adults alike.

Outdoor enthusiasts can discover the natural beauty of Tomoka State Park, just north of the city. This peaceful area offers hiking trails, birdwatching, and kayaking along the scenic Tomoka River. Meanwhile, the Historic Seabreeze District provides a touch of history, with vintage storefronts and charming architecture that tell stories of Daytona’s past.

The city also caters well to golfers, with access to excellent courses such as the LPGA International Golf Club. When the sun sets, Daytona’s nightlife scene comes alive with beach bars, live music venues, and diverse dining options – from casual bites to upscale experiences. Accommodation ranges from oceanfront hotels and resorts to affordable motels and short-term rentals, making it suitable for every type of traveller.
