Daytona Beach is a 23-mile stretch of scenic shoreline along Florida’s Central East Coast. The city is best known as a center of automobile racing and one of the few places where its hard-packed sand lets visitors drive on the beach. For those looking to get in the water, the area at the north side of Ponce Inlet is a popular spot for surfers. Kayaking, canoeing, and parasailing give non-surfers plenty of other water sports to enjoy.

Just an hour's drive to Orlando's theme parks, the Daytona Beach area is the ideal location for a vacation or weekend getaway. The area has increasingly become a cultural hub of Central Florida and this cultural coast extends from Ormond Beach in the north to New Smyrna Beach in the south offering world-class theater, concerts, museums, and historic sites.

Fishing reigns in the Volusia County city of Deland where visitors can enjoy abundant fish and wildlife bordering three state parks.

Shopping, dining, and nightlife as well as numerous family destinations reveal Daytona to be way more than a beach!
